Here's how you can exude confidence during property inspections and showings1Know Your StuffBefore stepping into a showing or inspection, ensure you're armed with all the necessary information about the property. This includes understanding the property's features, history, and any maintenance issues that have been addressed or are pending. When you can answer questions on the spot and provide detailed explanations, you signal to prospects that you're a reliable and authoritative source, which builds trust and confidence in your ability to manage the property.This is where invited experts will be adding contribution.2Dress the PartFirst impressions matter and your appearance plays a significant role in how others perceive your confidence. Dressing professionally for property inspections and showings sends a message that you take your role seriously. It's not just about wearing a suit; it's about choosing attire that is clean, well-fitted, and appropriate for the property's style and the expectations of your audience.3Positive Body LanguageYour body language speaks volumes before you even say a word. Maintain eye contact, offer a firm handshake, and stand tall with your shoulders back. These non-verbal cues project self-assuredness. Additionally, a genuine smile can make you appear more approachable and friendly, which can help put prospective tenants or buyers at ease.4Clear CommunicationCommunicating clearly and concisely is essential during showings and inspections. Avoid using jargon that might confuse your audience, and instead, explain terms in simple language. Speak at a measured pace, loud enough to be easily heard. By ensuring your message is understood, you demonstrate command over the subject matter and respect for your audience's comprehension.5Anticipate QuestionsProspective tenants and buyers will likely have questions, so anticipate these inquiries and prepare your responses in advance. Knowing the common concerns and interests related to the property allows you to address them proactively, which can impress your audience and further establish your expertise and preparedness.6Handle ObjectionsHandling objections gracefully is a true test of confidence. Stay calm and listen carefully to any concerns raised. Acknowledge the validity of the concern and provide a thoughtful, solution-oriented response. This shows that you are not only confident in the property's value but also in your ability to manage any issues that may arise

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending a leadership boot camp organized by the Higherlife Foundation in collaboration with Young and Dynamic. As a representative of the University of Zimbabwe, actively engaged in leading community engagement projects, this experience provided a significant opportunity for personal and professional growth.
The camp focused on team building and personal development, essential components of effective leadership. Through a variety of activities—both enjoyable and challenging—I gained valuable insights into the identity of a leader, as well as the necessary skills and roles associated with leadership. It is an honor to have take back some great lessons and scares.
Key lessons learned include:
The Importance of Leadership Hierarchies: I realized that even leaders require guidance. In a group of 21 individuals, it is not necessary for everyone to take on every task; a few skilled individuals can effectively represent the team.
The Centrality of Teamwork: Effective collaboration is crucial. Understanding the skills and competencies of each team member ensures that we can leverage the right talents when needed. Our goal is unity in diversity, working together to achieve our objectives.
Networking as a Relationship Builder: The camp provided an excellent platform for networking with peers from various universities and backgrounds. Engaging with coaches was particularly enriching, as it allowed me to learn from their experiences while also facilitating opportunities for others to gain knowledge.
Stepping Outside Comfort Zones: One activity prompted me to confront my hesitations and participate despite my initial reluctance. This experience underscored the idea that excuses can hinder our growth and limit our opportunities for learning. Indeed, excuses make you seem so small
Embracing the Present: This lesson speaks for itself and emphasizes the importance of being fully engaged in our experiences.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our patrons Mr and Mrs. Masiywa Tsitsi Masiyiwa, Mrs. Molobi Elizabeth Tanya Masiyiwa and the entire Higherlife Foundation leadership for granting us platforms like these to grow.
Productive and inspiring weekend at our team-building camp with the Higherlife Foundation Leaders! Grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our bonds, sharpen our strategies, and refocus on our shared mission. Together, we're more committed than ever to empowering individuals and communities across Africa. Onward to even greater impact!

Last week I was recognized for reaching a certain milestone. I've never really been one for celebrations (working on it 🎉). At the time, I passed on a simple repost - seemed too self-congratulatory. As I reflected over the past week, a number of thoughts came to mind, some that I thought worth sharing. 💭
✅ Milestones are markers. They help us be better rememberers (we tend to be pretty good at forgetting). Markers keep us focused on the important ➡ Joshua 4.
✅ Each project I've completed was an opportunity to journey alongside an organization that was laboring in the 'already but not yet' - carrying out a mission that impacts the world now, with a focus on eternal implications. I've been honored and humbled with each of these partnerships.
✅ Our work at Vanderbloemen places a high value on face-to-face interactions, as do I. So 100 engagements resulted in a lot of miles 🛫 and nights away from home 🛌. I miss a lot of things, but it keeps me focused on the intentionality I need to bring as a husband and father when I am home. A work in progress for sure - "intentional" is my word for 2024 - want to join me ⁉
✅ I have a rockstar wife🤘(see point above). Deeply invest in your family as you journey the adventure of living life together and execute the mission statement you're focused on in your home. Love the work you do, but your family focus is far more important than what you do for remuneration.
✅ This is a marker, not a finish line. The journey continues.
Carry on my friends 💪

2023
What a year
* 25% growth Vs 2022
* Hit revenue milestone 5 times
* Achieved market entry in 3 channels
What worked? SEM
Support: You can know the job, you can be the most creative, without support you are just planning with no little or no action.
I got support from both internal and external stakeholders, this is where EQ comes in handy.
Execution: Action more, spend less time on planning.
My highlight was the implementation and execution of Price increase which was extremely successful.
The most resourceful people are execution driven.
Mentorship: Regular check-ins with industry friends and OGs, this eliminated time wastage.
One thing that made this easier for me was I did not go to anyone “blank”, I always went with something for them to work on/review with me.
2024- NO GREE FOR ANYBODY
