Dianna Kokoszka and Bailey Heard present to the KW Young Professionals Division

Keller Williams Realty Mega Camp was booming and one of the loudest booms was coming from the KW Young Professionals (KWYP) Mastermind as more than 100 young agents packed the room to mastermind with MAPS Coaching CEO Dianna Kokoszka. Dianna continues to be a loud champion for the growing division, always contributing at the highest level to develop the next generation of Keller Williams leaders.

The event started off with a special conversation with Bailey Heard who offered an inspiring story that left the crowd speechless. In her early 20’s as a new wife and mother, Bailey faced a difficult road as her husband was diagnosed with cancer. As he battled the illness and recognized his life would be cut short, he took on his life goals, even completing the book he thought he would write later in life. A significant part of his legacy is The Ellie Project, a children’s book compiled of drawings and life lessons he developed with his daughter before his death. Bailey has created her own legacy, focusing on helping other women who have experienced loss start the next chapter of their lives. Bailey’s story is one of triumph and her candid humor captivated the audience as she shared how her tragedy changed her perspective on entitlement, gratitude, and living in the present moment.

Dianna then launched the mastermind session. The conversation and questions flowed and in true Dianna form, there were too many amazing nuggets to capture. Here are a few words of wisdom that rocked the KWYP world!

It’s not about who you know, it’s who knows you!

You know how people need encouraging? They’re breathing.

When the “why” is strong enough, the “how” shows up.
   
Don’t complain about what you will tolerate!

Comfort is on the opposite end of success!

Raise your financial thermostat, surround yourself with people who allow it to go up!

The ending quote powerfully captures our KW culture centered around helping others:

Your income increases in direct proportion to how much you serve.
