This has been a busy week training wise for me. I was hired to conduct the Vermont Association of REALTORS Ethics workshop held this past Tuesday.
It was a 6 hour training session geared to those REALTORS who serve on the Grievance and the Professional Standards committee and board of directors. It is required training so most of the attendees “had” to be there. A forced group of participants is always a challenge. My goal was to make them want to be there and do it quickly. I think I succeed!
The morning included an interactive cycle two Quadrennial Ethics class and the afternoon focused on the enforcement process. The time flew by and the verbal feedback was all excellent. I had people tell me that they didn’t expect to enjoy the class…thought it would the same ole same ole and how surprised they were that it was so good and that they learned so much.
When they take the time to wait in line simply to say thank you at the end of the program…you know you reached them.
It ended up being a great day and to top it off they asked me to come back in February to do it again.

From an attendee…
Hey There,
That was a great class on Tuesday. We enjoyed ourselves, and stayed awake for a 6 hour class!
Are you going to be having any other classes in VT?
Take Care,
Sue-
I’m teaching a 3 hours ethics course this week for CE credits. I too am working on making it not be the same old boring presentation. What type things did you do different? How did you grab their attention & keep them excited for your class?
Thanks!
Candy
Candy,
I use the NAR basic outline and power point but have added to it to make it apply to my market and state. I also use real life examples of behavior issues. I use a lot of break outs and the power pointed itself is modified. I also do a 3 hour class and a 6 hour.
I’m a very much a in your face person…I walk about and do not stand behind a podium.
I think having the in the field experience helps. I checked out your website and it looks like you have plenty of that.
How long have you been teaching the code?
