You Don't Know What You Are Missing Until It's Gone.....

 Recently we have hired a new call coordinator for one of our offices, The Ormond By The Sea office.  When this happens it deeply affects my production and my office dynamics. 

You see Lysa Napolitano is my call coordinator, that's right she is mine, mine, mine and I take great pride in that but once again she has left me.

Lysa is not just a typical call coordinator, honestly, I am left handed and she is my right arm.  The great thing about Lysa is she is incredible and quite talented at her job so talented she trains every new call coordinator in our company.

I can't complain as I utilize every office and hit each of them once a week. 

Since June is a very hairy month for us company wide, I have really missed her.  Yes I may tell her on the phone or give some other manager a hard time to get her back but the truth is when she is gone the dynamics of the office is not the same.

Lysa knows just how much I value her but today I want her to know just how much and the truth is you don't know what you are missing until it's gone.

I am a very hands on manager and trainer, I am in every associates business, I love it and I actually get paid for it.  My weakness lies in doing things I don't want to do....many of those tasks Lysa does for me.  Call me spoiled or whatever you like. 

The bottom line is without Lysa with me I feel like I am missing an important part of me.

 So Lysa today I just want you to know that I have missed you and yes I have been feeding Buddy just as the associates do.  We take turns talking to him and nurturing him, letting him know you will be home soon. 

Her birds that she watches over, I now have to reassure them she is coming back, they stare at me from my sliding glass door, they miss her talking to them and feeding them, that's just my Lysa.

On a business standpoint she is well accomplished and manages to get her work done and some of mine, she pitches in and does whatever it takes to keep the moral of the office positive and upbeat. 

Without her I really am not much.  I do believe you are only as good as the people that you are surrounded by

So today Lysa I just want to say Thank You.....You do an awesome job....you are my right arm and I have come to realize you don't know what you got until it's gone. 

Girl it's Friday....Oh happy day!  See you soon my friend.....

My left arm needs a scratch from the right one!

Surrounding yourself with great people is the key to success. Sometimes we don't know everything they do when they are doing. It is only after they are do you realize all they do. Sounds as if you have an enormous void to fill.

Never fear....she will be back and yes she is mine, mine, mine!  I am very proud of that fact.  Also, Lysa and I will be traveling to Celebration tomorrow to meet the many superstars from Florida.  If I ever lost her I would be sad but for now she is still mine.  Thank you Gary for commenting and for stopping by.

The Ora of those who are great people will bring greatness to you too. It's nice to have someone you can be in sync with it makes all the difference in the world.

Midori, First off, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Buddy! Thank you for all your kind words here, I have always known how much you appreciate me, but its always great to see it in print. I missed you and my critters too. Hope they think I didn't abandon them!

Maureen-Thank you for your comment, I have always believed you are only as good as the people around you.  She really makes a huge difference in my world, she is my protector!  On top of that she is really a good friend.  We are both flexible and understanding and one thing I am learning from her every day is patience! 

06/22/2007 02:42 PM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


Lysa-it's always easy to be complimentary when it is true!  Also, you have taught me a lot, and I don't mean just workwise.  There is this charible side of you and this giving side that makes us compatible and make me want to do more. I thank you for that but also for putting up with my temper tantrums, being my sounding board and running ideas past you.  I also appreciate the fact you are sooooo extremely supportive of all the agents as well.  Believe me they missed you too!

06/22/2007 02:44 PM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


Patient? ME? Since When? HA! I have you fooled! We have taught each other a lot, and for that I am thankful too!

See you in the AM!

Midori,

From what I know about Lysa..she is a diamond in the rough...be good to her..hopefully tomorrow when I see her she will be as she appears to be on A/R. I am sure I am wrong...she is probably even better in person and I might have to steal her from you. LOL!

06/22/2007 04:27 PM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Lysa-yes you have taught me patience.....

Neal-She is a diamond in the rough!!!  Ask her she will tell you, I am her biggest fan!  She is exactly the same on activerain as in person.  You will never get her away from me!  I'll give you one of my cats before that happens. See you tomorrow

06/22/2007 05:53 PM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


I'm not surprised at all to hear that Lysa is indispensable!!  I am a huge Lysa fan myself.  Hang onto her!!!

06/22/2007 06:00 PM by Sarah Cooper (Real Estate Shows)


Oh Sarah-you don't know the half of it.  She keeps me calm.  We have very few problems in our office.  She really gives 100% of herself everyday.  I love the fact when it is slow she blogs.  She is so loyal, much more than most!  I will never ever let her go

06/22/2007 06:09 PM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


Ya'll are making me blush now...

Neal, sorry buddy, you won't get me away from Midori, not gonna happen...

Sarah, I'm a huge fan of yours too!

Lysa...I wondered hy you had been quieter than usual! (just between you and me this might be a good time to put in for for that xtra long lunch hour!)

Midori...I think the feelings between you two are mutual...Lysa has great things to say about you when you aren't around!

 

06/22/2007 08:47 PM by Joan Mirantz- Concord New Hampshire Realtor (Keeler Family Realtors)


Lysa-Get used to it if you are gonna pal around with me!  I will always toot the horn's of the deserving.

Joan-Yes Lysa  has been really busy not only does she trains the new call coordinators but she also pulls alot of relief when an office is missing one!  I am ok with that just as long as she finds her way home.  Everytime a new one comes in I beg the owner to keep her with me.  The owner does acknowledge the fact that Lysa and I work well together and I think she will never take her away from me!  Yes I have missed Lysa's posts but I am sure after Celebration you will see many from both of us. 

Also Joan, whatever Lysa wants she gets, within reason and within my power.  Just ask her she'll tell you it is MUTUAL Respect.  I got her back and she has mine.

I also appreciate Lysa watching over things and I know she has my best interest at heart!  I am one lucky girl!  Thank you for stopping by Joan I really appreciate your support and comments.

The appreciation is felt here....and from so far away! I wish I could be there too at the party!  I really want to meet everyone. On second thought it might be overwhelming...haha!

You both actually deserve each other...what two wonderful people to be closely connected and work well together!

06/22/2007 09:48 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Sally- Ahhhh, I am going to be thinking about you tomorrow! It probably will be overwhelming....There are so many people I can't wait to meet.  I am really thankful Lysa and I get along so well.  Thanks for stopping by look for lots of photo's.............

06/23/2007 12:38 AM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


Midori, what a wonderful tribute to Lysa.  (I actually think you two have a mutual admiration society going on).  It was great to meet you both today in Orlando.  Hope we can do it again sometime soon!

06/24/2007 12:22 AM by Peggy Edwards, ~REALTOR®~Citrus Park & Westchase, FL (Coldwell Banker)


HAH-I knew we had deep connections-I am left handed too!  :-) Kudos to Lysa for being a great help to you and Buddy the fish is cute!

06/24/2007 10:56 AM by Gwendolyn Wright-Victory Virtual Solutions (Victory Virtual Solutions)


Peggy-It was so nice to meet you yesterday.  I had a blast.  Yes I think we are meant for each other!  Yes I would love to do another celebration.  I felt like a kid in disney.

Gwendolyn-Hi my friend, I have missed you!  Hmmm we lefty's are pretty special....now I understand!  Lysa rocks like no other, buddy is one lucky fish.  

06/24/2007 11:48 AM by Midori Miller-Daytona Beach Florida Real Estate Trainer (CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty)


So Lysa has job security, GREAT!  She seems like a very dynamic person and it sounds like you've done a wonderful job of surrounding yourself around good people.  Oh, thanks so much for the items you sent the other day.  And thank you for the call.  I appreciate all of it!

06/24/2007 07:46 PM by Cynthia Sloop, Realtor Indianapolis Real Estate (Carpenter Realtors (Lic. in Referral))


Midori, you scared me.  I thought Lysa had really left.  yikes!  It's so sweet the way you let her know you value her!  I can tell from the times I've spoken to each of you that the admiration is mutual.  You're both very lucky.

06/24/2007 08:48 PM by Palmetto Bay | Redland Real Estate | Maggie Dokic (EWM Realtors)


Cynthia-Hi....yes as long as I am with Sundance Lysa will be there too!  She works hard to make me look good!  Also, it was my pleasure and look for other items this week.  I too enjoyed talking with you!

Maggie-she does a great job in looking out for me and she is a very good friend.  We had a blast in Orlando and really missed you....I will give you a call this week, I want to see you girl!
