Upcoming Events

Putting the final touches on my presentations for the Indiana Apartment Association Annual Conference and Trade Show.  I will be speaking on two subjects, both of which I believe are essential to success in property management.

In the morning I present "Financial Management - Your key to success."   Here we will review and present key factors related to our fiscal responsibility as property managers, and look at the key areas that make a difference in maximizing income and minimizing expenses.  We will look at alternatives, changes within our business, and possible ways to improve your bottom line.  Also presented will be the subject of budgeting, a task many managers dread every fall.  Why are budgets so intimidating and what can we do to remove the fear of the process?  What areas of potential income may we be missing and a look at new trends which also bring new revenue.  

The afternoon session is one of my absolute favorites and is entitled, "Peak Performance Management - Leadership versus Management."  There are distinct differences between management and leadership, and while they overlap we need to understand how each plays a role in the positions within our industry and business.  We will identify and discuss fifteen key traits of successful leaders and help you understand the tpye of leader you are and identify with.  Management skills are important, however, not enough to lead to success and excellence.  Excellence demands strong leadership, period end.

Both of these workshops are intended to be fun, educational, and informative.  As a professional magician, we'll also add a few "tricks of the trade" to enlighten the attendees and create a memorable experience.  I look forward to meeting new friends and old, and the conference is lined with some great speakers who I have known and worked with over my years in property management.

I am also taking advance order for my book at the discounted price through my website.  I'll have a coupon code posted by the end of the week.   It is available also for your Kindle on Amazon.com, I'll be bringing some hard copies with me for those who want a hard copy.  Email me at lawrenceberry@comcast.net so we can bring additional copies for anyone interested.

See you in Indianapolis for what is going to be another great conference.
