Often our professional lives change and sometimes we are fortunate to connect with a colleague from a previous industry. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Grant Schneider was a member of Active Rain. Grant and I both were colleagues from an organization previously known as Resource Affiliates Corporation (RAC) and now is renamed as The Trusted Advisors(TAN). This firm provided training and development curriculum along with quarterly sessions that allowed members to share best practices.
When I was an active member of RAC/TAN I had facilitated several breakout sessions. Grant always added to the discussion in thoughtful and respectful ways. He actively participated in the group/table activities as well.
Here in Active Rain, Grant continued to share his experience as a business coach to help small to large business owners and yes real estate agents are small business owners. What is noticeable about Grant is Grant did personalize his responses and often those responses added more insight to the dialogue created by the blog posting.
Finding a gentle, caring and kind soul is sometimes difficult in this hustle bustle world. Grant was one of those rare, gentle, caring and kind souls who the angels pray and guard. His presence continues to be missed by Active Rain members as well as others who had the opportunity to know him and learn from him.
Grant passed away in early 2023. Here is a link to his obituary for those who may not have known or interacted with Grant
This is my second entry into the March 2026 Challenge of remembering a colleague here on Active Rain. Again thanks to Lew Corcoran and Patricia Feager for hosting these two challenges this month.
P.S. Please consider checking out my Facebook business page, The Grit and Gratitude Agent that will focus on the Dirt Roads in Mohave County as well local real estate, lots of dirt or vacant land parcels as some of the local attractions.
