About I AM... Two of the most powerful words because what I put in front of them shapes my reality, and yours. I am an educator/leader in the real estate space with a heart rooted in philanthropy. As President of the Real Estate Academy and Executive Vice President at Canada's largest Royal LePage franchise - Royal LePage Your Community Realty, I get to spend a majority of my days educating, inspiring & speaking to thousands of Realtors & like-minded business people on creating the business of their dreams. Of course, every great leader needs great teachers, and mine are my two beautiful children, who have been my inspiration, heart and soul since the day they were born. I believe we all have a gift, and the purpose of that gift is to share it, in hopes that we can leave the world better than how we found it. I am a self proclaimed creative dabbler devoted to unravelling my gifts as a writer and painter - and impacting the lives of others by sharing these gifts through philanthropy. My tagline "Helping you is what I do!" is something I stand behind both in my professional and personal life. I believe we have the power to create the world we want to live, thus giving back is something I care deeply about. Whether it's inspiring people through my social media/blog sites "The Fabric of our Soul", advocating for causes that are close to my heart or volunteering at charitable causes and organizations, I am committed to having a positive impact on the people around me. There is no other way I know that describes me better than Einstein's quote; "I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious" Here are a few of my sites: My Musings blog: www.michellerisi.com Real Estate Academy Blog: www.realestateacademy.wordpress.com The Fabric Of Our Soul is my biggest muse, providing daily quotes and inspiration.
