In this episode of Simply Authentic, we continue our exploration of leadership lessons learned during the pandemic—now five years past. What did some of the top leaders take away from that challenging time? This week, we sit down with Jeff Kester, CEO of GSBOR and former 2020 President of Missouri REALTORS®. Jeff had big plans for his leadership year—traveling the state to connect with REALTORS®, advocating for the industry, and even attending the MMIPM conference in Caen, France. But when the world shut down, everything changed. How did he pivot from being an in-person leader to a fully virtual one? What were the defining moments that shaped his leadership during the crisis? What did he learn about himself, and—looking back—would he do anything differently? Join us for an insightful conversation on adaptability, resilience, and the lasting impact of leadership in times of uncertainty.
Five years ago, the world changed overnight. In this episode of Simply Authentic, we reflect on the early days of the pandemic and what it was like to navigate that uncertainty as business owners and leaders. During a time of fear and isolation, visibility and presence became more important than ever. How did we support our agents and clients when no one had a roadmap? What leadership lessons did we learn? What mistakes shaped our growth? And how did we adapt to the challenges we never saw coming? Join us as we unpack the defining moments, biggest challenges, and lasting takeaways from leading through crisis. Tune in for an honest conversation about resilience, connection, and the power of showing up when it matters most.
