Leading authentically with magnetism, vulnerability, and gratitude
If you want to inspire others, practice what you preach
If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Barry, you know that he is one of the kindest, most positive, most enthusiastic people you will ever meet. He wins your trust almost instantly because you can just tell the guy practices what he preaches. He’s authentic to the core. And that hasn’t changed with his recent diagnosis of an aggressive form of cancer.
Barry possesses, in spades, the three personal traits of excellent leaders and top performers that he articulates during the show: magnetism (making others feel smarter and feel better when you interact with them), vulnerability (exposing your weaknesses) and gratefulness (being thankful every day for the many blessings in our lives).
I’ve had the pleasure to know Barry for over 20 years, and I am honored to call him my friend. For years, Barry has encouraged me and my team to continue fighting for our customers, our industry, and the consumers we ultimately serve. Now, given the greatest challenge in his life, he’s practicing what he’s preached and fighting through an overwhelming diagnosis to continue to serve his clients, the industry, and the American homeowner—all with a smile on his face and gratitude in his heart.
If that doesn’t inspire you and cause you to reflect on how your life compares to your advice, I’m not sure what will.
