Break the Glass Ceiling

Do you feel stuck in your current situation? Are you afraid and unsure of where to take your next step?

If this is how you feel, but you want to improve your leadership in real estate groups or in your industry, today we tell you how to break the glass ceiling. 

Debbie Lariviere, owner of Monter Coaching and host of The Real Estate Woman Podcast, talks about how you can improve your leadership game and become an influential person in your industry. 

What Is the Glass Ceiling?

The glass ceiling for women in business refers to an invisible barrier that hinders our progress in professional settings. 

This metaphorical ceiling is not a physical obstruction but rather, a set of unspoken, often subconscious biases and stereotypes that limit opportunities for advancement. 

It can lead to feelings of frustration or stagnation in one’s career.

The trick is dismissing the glass barrier and taking the chance to accomplish something you never thought possible. It is a challenge, but it is a good one. 

Debbie Story

When given a unique chance to step up, she bravely volunteered to launch a brokerage firm, embracing the role of a leader. 

She could have said no after seeing the challenges of doing so, but she decided to be influential. 

How could she prove herself to the leaders?

First, she acquired her real estate license in North Carolina, a crucial step in gaining industry recognition. 

Next, she applied to join the board of directors, a move that would give her a voice in decision-making processes.

But she didn’t stop there. 

She also made strategic connections with leaders and brokerages across the industry. By doing so, she expanded her network, gained valuable insights, and positioned herself as a key player in her field.

Have a Following

Foster Trust and Influence

As a leader, you need to inspire trust among your peers and subordinates. 

Your influence should be based on your ability to deliver results and make sound decisions. This trust isn’t built overnight but is the result of consistent, reliable actions. 

Communicate Effectively

Good leaders know how to communicate in a way that leads to solutions. Instead of merely providing feedback, offer constructive advice that helps your team improve and grow. Encourage open dialogue and ensure everyone feels heard.

Put Emotion in Your Pocket

Manage your emotions wisely.

Leadership often involves navigating difficult situations and making tough decisions. It’s essential to keep your emotions in check and maintain a level-headed approach. Emotional intelligence is a key trait of effective leaders.

Don’t Avoid Hard Conversations. 

Don’t shy away from hard truths or tough conversations. 

Addressing issues head-on, even when uncomfortable, demonstrates your commitment to transparency and integrity.
