Redesign your creativity and brain power
Todd Sampson is the writer, host and human guinea pig of the award-winning Discovery Science Series called REDESIGN MY BRAIN.
The premise of the series was simple. For over 70 years, science has told us that our brains are fixed. You are born with the brain you have, it develops rapidly until age 7 and then it starts a steady decline from age 30 until you die. There was nothing you could do about it. But science has now proven that to be false. In fact, modern science has now shown that our brain is plastic and that we ALL have the ability to improve it at any age and at any time. This presentation will show you how to boost your Creativity and Brain Power – an asset that will empower you to excel within real estate.
Todd will not only take you behind the scenes of this extraordinary scientific journey, he will also provide you with the practical tools, strategies and techniques to improve your brain. We are all capable of more than we realise … and modern science is showing us how. Use these techniques to elevate yourself to the top of the real estate industry.

12:45pm – Lunch
1:15pm – Mark Armstrong and Lisa Jemmeson
Agent movement: when an agent moves on, who retains the database and relationships?
Lisa Jemmeson has been part of the property industry for over 25 years, and regularly represents the interests of real estate agents in advocacy work across Australia. Lisa and Mark will discuss the legal obligations agents face when moving agencies, and whether agencies are liable for IP / database breaches when poaching agents from another agency. See Lisa’s bio on the RMAOpen Speakers page.
2:05pm – Josh Cobb
Content Marketing: A fresh approach to marketing in real estate that cuts through all the noise online.
If you’re wondering how to make your company seem more exciting online, you’re asking the wrong question. You’re not competing for attention only against other real estate companies. You’re competing against your customers’ friends and family and viral videos and cute puppies.
To win attention online these days (especially social media) from current and prospective clients, you must ask a very different question: “How can we help?” Armed with a swag of case studies of real estate brands from Australia and abroad who are winning the game of attention online, Josh Cobb will show you a new approach to marketing that is helping real estate brands cut through the clutter to get more clients and keep the ones they’ve already earned.
