I’ve just returned from my NS training and again, I’ve been able to get commendation about my work as an RQ there.
This time by a civilian team and their leader.
When I think back about what I’ve been doing right, I realised that all I do in the ICT is calling people on the phone and speaking with key people.
I simply make sure the key people that can help us do our job easily knows I am here to be responsible and humble.
I deliberately keep the way I speak to the external team as professional and empathetic as possible.
Basically, I show that I am responsible and respectful.
The activities I do during ICT are:
- Getting tasks needed to be done listed out
- Being organised and planning ahead
- Delegating work to my CQs
- Interfacing with external parties so my team gets everything they need
- Solving problems by working together with other leaders in the battalion
I realised that what I really do in ICT is building relationships and planning.
This is very relevant to a career in real estate.
In real estate sales, my clients must know I am responsible and feel I respect their opinion.
All I really do is to speak with clients and recommend units that fit them best.
I help solve any problems they have that may come up and help them achieve their outcomes.
I just need to list out the tasks, be organised and plan ahead.
I will be as successful in real estate sales as I am in ICT.
