Eileen Rivera, Vice President of Communications & Public Relations at Maximus, has spoken about her work with blind students, including an event called "Gracious Gratitude" at the Maryland School for the Blind. She described the event as teaching students to be hosts and express gratitude to people in their lives, rather than being recipients of help. Rivera stated that her organization works with about 20 states delivering programming to make students more confident. In earlier appearances, Rivera discussed real estate sales techniques, including the use of professional covers for listing presentations, collecting questions for client conversations, and leveraging social proof such as testimonials. She also promoted her real estate team's services to asset managers, guaranteeing that tasks would be completed on time, that activity would be driven to properties, and that she would be directly reachable. Rivera claimed her team had never had an asset pulled and that 97% of first escrows closed.
“So we really work on all kinds of experiences to make students more confident.”
“For example, at the Maryland School for the Blind a couple years ago we offered an event called 'Gracious Gratitude' and it was all around being thankful to all the people in our lives.”
“Students got to learn to prepare and be the hosts for their families and people who did things โ not to be the recipients of great things but to be contributing and showing gratitude.”
“Not just being the takers but being the givers โ right โ and we know in the Federation we need people to be givers not just takers.”
