Short YouTube clip (Real Estate Team OS) where Carmen Morin asks whether leaders and salespeople are born or made. Speaker A argues most ability is nurture (approx. '90% nurture, 10% nature') and that skills like sales and leadership are developed through intentional, performance-style training (drawing on music and athletics), emphasizing activation, shaping through experience, and training skills not just knowledge.
Are leaders born or made? Are salespeople born or made? Are skills like sales and leadership nature or nurture?
It's so much that's nurture, right? 90% nurture, 10% nature. All skills, all talent is essentially developed through intentional training. So when you come from a background in performance training, like music, as I have, or athletics, there are specific things that have happened to activate that talent and shape it from the ground up. So that absolutely transfers over into the real estate world that you don't just have people show up and they're going to have these skills. People will have their own natural abilities or gifts that they may have. I always say that everyone has their own unique seeds of talent, but ultimately it's the work that you need to do to bring that out again. It takes this activation and the shaping through experiences that you can really kind of model and have intention and control over what the outcomes are for your agents.
