Dominic Thurbon: 10 lessons on how to create value, stand out in a crowd and become the obvious choice

“The biggest enemy of doing things better is being wedded to the way you used to do things.” That’s the main message from organisational transformation and innovation expert, and Elite Retreat headline speaker, Dominic Thurbon.

In today’s episode of the Elevate podcast, hosted by Samantha McLean, Dominic reveals how reframing the line between experience and baggage, or shaking the weight of legacy practices, can redefine success for real estate professionals.

With a rich background in corporate strategy and behaviour change, Dominic also shares how viewing past experiences through a new lens can propel you forward and why focusing on behaviour change can help you make the most of new technologies and achieve lasting business and personal growth.

Dominic also zeros in on marketing strategies that help businesses stand out, the critical role of AI in transforming the industry, and why understanding client problems at a deeper level is more crucial than ever.

Dominic and Sam also offer a sneak peek into the learnings he’ll share at Elite Retreat next month, why the most important battle in business is not with your competitor and the genius move he’s most proud of.
