Yesterday’s YPN Lunch Convo challenged us to think a little differently about what it means to compete, and what it means to be known. We heard from the team at Christi Reece Group, including CEO Reece Stanley and Ian Skrine, Head of Marketing & Revenue and YPN Vice Chair, about their approach to “Big vs. Rooted.”
As a private real estate brokerage competing in a space filled with large corporate firms, Christi Reece Group leans into what makes them different: being deeply rooted in their community, their clients, the local market, and the place they call home.
The conversation went beyond real estate, challenging attendees to think about the same idea in their own careers and organizations.
What are you rooted in? What do you want people to know you for personally and professionally? And how can those things become a strength in the way you work, lead, and connect with your community?
Thank you to Reece, Ian, and the Christi Reece team for a thoughtful conversation and a great YPN Lunch Convo!
