New York - September 18, 2024 - Compass, Inc. (NYSE: COMP) ("Compass" or the "Company"), the largest residential real estate company in the United States by sales volume, announces the launch of 'Compass Free Coaching Month,' a four-week transformative learning series designed to help agents boost their income, sharpen their business strategies, and better achieve work-life balance in an evolving industry landscape.
"We're here to prepare agents to succeed in an environment where maximizing their value and prioritizing mental wellbeing is more important than ever," said Ashley Donat, National Head of Coaching at Compass. "We've taken direct input from our agents to understand the areas they want to learn and grow in and have tailored coaching paths to meet those needs."
Donat, a former top-producing agent and influential sales manager at Compass, recently took on her new role as a leader of the company's coaching unit. Known for her ability to empower agents and unify teams, she plans to create a supportive and unified experience across teams and markets where agents feel fully supported to achieve their businesses' unique goals.
The Compass 'Free Coaching Month' line-up and specialized tracks include:
Steve Shull | 6 Building Blocks: How to Be a Full-Fee Agent
Chirag Shah | Profit-Driven Real Estate: Revolutionize Your Business with AI and Winning Client Tactics
Marley Jaxx | How to Turn Your Content into Cash
Gregg Sugerman | The Consistency Bootcamp: How to Create Predictability & Balance in Your Income, Time, & Lifestyle
Charan Bashir | Building a Resilient Real Estate Business
Angie Wisdom | Mastering Your Mindset for Daily Success
Coaching has always been a core pillar of Compass' mission. Founder and CEO Robert Reffkin and some of the company's leading agents credit mentorship and coaching for their success.
"You can have all the passion in the world, but without the right strategy and mindset, it doesn't translate to your business," said Reffkin. "That is why the most successful CEOs and business owners invest in coaching-and at Compass, we're giving agents the tools they need to excel in a changing industry."
Compass agents nationwide echo this sentiment. Matthew Breitenbach, a top Compass agent in the Hamptons who works with coach Chirag Shah, shared his experience: "I've built a $300 million year business with Chirag's coaching. He's shown me how to leverage the full talents of my team members and how to effectively work as a collective to create a more profitable business model."
While Shah is one of Compass' most established Coaches, there are some exciting new additions to the coaching roster involved in the company's Free Coaching Month:
Marley Jaxx is an award-winning digital content strategist who has counseled high-profile clients like Mark Cuban and Daymond John. She will lead a program that transforms online content into a magnet for buyers, sellers, and clients-converting digital engagement into real-world business.
Charan Bashir, a licensed professional counselor, will guide agents in developing a client-centered approach that addresses emotional challenges, enhances trust, and leads to more successful and satisfying real estate transactions. This marks the first time a licensed mental health professional has joined the internal Compass coaching team, as the company continues to prioritize investing in enabling agents to address the challenges they face today.
Angie Wisdom is a life and business coach with over 25 years of experience helping professionals transform their mindset and leadership skills to achieve meaningful success. She empowers business owners to prioritize themselves, create balance, and overcome mental hurdles that limit growth. Her coaching philosophy centers on unlocking potential and creating success on demand through actionable, mindset-driven strategies.
