What the sessions cover
Three Power Panels run across the day. The first, held at 8:55 a.m., cuts directly into the market conditions brokers are managing right now: tariffs, rate uncertainty, a renewal wave reshaping client books, and buyers who are hesitating for reasons that have little to do with rates and everything to do with fear.
Sherry Cooper, chief economist at Dominion Lending Centres, and Michele Steko, vice president of national broker relations at Sherwood Mortgage Group, are among the panellists.
The second panel examines the leadership patterns that lead to burnout — specifically, how the dependability and hands-on approach that builds early careers can, if unchecked, become the habits that grind professionals down.
Sofia Hondrogiannis, associate vice president of national distribution and broker services at TD Bank, and Elena Robinson, vice president of residential sales at First National Financial LP in Canada, join the panel.
The third panel, in the afternoon, is focused on client communication: what to actually say when clients tell you they’re waiting, how to stay connected after funding in a way that builds loyalty and referrals, and how to talk about life events — not just rates — so clients think of you first when things change.
