The National Association of Realtors 2009 Conference and Expo in San Diego had a palpable feel in the air. It was bustling, hurried atmosphere. Perhaps part of that was caused by the fact that the Conference this year was twice the size of last year’s in Orlando. Nearly 20,000 gathered together to share insights, information and vision about our industry. But there was something more. A sense that beyond some panic, beyond some shock waves was the industry’s collective effort to move beyond the past, to quit feeling like victims and instead get on with the tasks at hand.

Everyone recognizes that the industry has shifted and morphed into a brave new world, one that is rich in technology and Web 2.0. The only thing missing from the forward movement of our industry has been us. So there was a renewed call to action and new determination to overcome. You could clearly see the application of the presentations done by the likes of:

The sentiments and changes surrounding our industry were summed up by 2009 President Charles McMillan. You can read more about what he had to say by clicking here.

The presentations matched that tenor and we had the opportunity to hear from Jeff Turner and Darryl Davis:

Course Creators presents live at the 2009 NAR Conference and Expo!

Len & Theresa have been requested to present at the 2009 NAR Conference and Expo in San Diego.

Home Sellers Profiles to increase your business. We look forward to helping you Chart a Winning Course in San Diego.

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet Dan Pink and watch him in action at the National Association of Realtors Convention. Now, we are very excited to see him hitting it big with Oprah!! Check out his Oprah interview. Check out this article, Why right-brainers will rule this century, and then go buy his book “A Whole New Mind”. You will be glad you did!

You’ll be amazed at Dan’s analysis of how the world is changing and what you need to do if you expect to stay in the game. Most of us were raised in an era that praised the left brain analyticals who became doctors and engineers. Dan will explain why the current state of the world and its rapid fire progression is poised to reward the right brain creative thinkers. The book is full of insights and was heralded as a “miracle, completely original and profound” by Tom Peters the author of In Search of Excellence. It is indeed one of the most insightful business books you can read today.

Dan Pink is the bestselling author of Free Agent Nation. His articles on work, business and technology appear in many publications including the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Slate, Fast Company & Wired.
