Testimonials
“I have many hats that I wear, professional and personal. One hat I consistently wear is that of leader. I feel we all wear that hat to a certain extent on a daily basis. Each time we speak to a client about our product we hold ourselves out to be the leader in our field. When we negotiate with our family members to get tasks completed we hold ourselves out as a leader. Leadership Academy enhances those skills by providing education and techniques. The programs are varied and interesting and the speakers top notch! For me the most valuable take away was the confidence I gained. I did not know what I actually knew and was practicing. Leadership Academy verified that for me. I cannot stress enough how valuable this Academy can be for you-skills, knowledge and techniques will help you grow both professionally and personally.”
Emily Ross Campos, SRA, RAA, GRI, PMN, REALTOR
2016 President Womens Council of Realtors, Bonita Springs-Estero Network, 2015 Pat Lord Humanitarian of the Year Award

“I would personally like to thank the leadership community of 2015. I was able to build additional relationships and bonds that I know will last a lifetime. The event that went on to Guadalupe center was phenomenal. And then to build a relationship with the Vice President of the Guadalupe center. Has been amazing! Rock on BEAR Leadership!”
