Property management is a profession built on solving problems, managing expectations, and staying calm under pressure. But who takes care of the person managing it all?

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking October Chapter Meeting featuring Matt Kovatchis, CPCC, as he presents The Self-Compassion Advantage: Managing Stress and Building Resilience in Property Management.

In this dynamic, interactive keynote, Matt shares his personal journey from corporate banking to becoming a nationally recognized speaker and executive coach specializing in stress management, emotional resilience, and self-leadership. Through research-backed strategies and real-life experiences, you'll discover why the relentless inner critic so many professionals rely on may actually be working against you—and how practicing self-compassion can lead to greater resilience, improved performance, stronger relationships, and a healthier approach to leadership.

Whether you're managing demanding tenants, navigating ownership expectations, responding to emergencies, or balancing the daily pressures of commercial real estate, you'll leave with practical tools you can immediately apply in both your professional and personal life.

You'll Learn:

• Why your inner critic may be increasing stress rather than driving success
• Practical techniques to build resilience during high-pressure situations
• How self-compassion improves leadership, decision-making, and communication
• Strategies for preventing burnout while maintaining high performance
• Actionable ways to show up more effectively for your clients, colleagues, and yourself

Matt has inspired audiences across the country, working with organizations including IREM, BOMA, SHRM Georgia, Illinois Bankers Association, and MPI. His energetic presentation style, authentic storytelling, and practical takeaways make this a program you won't want to miss.

Enjoy a delicious lunch, connect with fellow industry professionals, and invest in one of your most valuable professional assets—you.
