Welcome to Wisdom From The Helm, where we go beyond the typical highlight reels of real estate’s most trusted women to reveal the secrets of their success – not just in business, but in life.
How a focus on discipline, systems, and no-nonsense leadership improves the way real estate businesses run. In this episode of Wisdom from The Helm, Danielle Wilkie sits down with Monica Reynolds, one of real estate’s most respected coaches and system-builders. Over her four decades in the industry, Monica has been recognized by Gary Keller and Dave Ramsey, led a $100M+ sales team, pioneered assistant hiring models, and logged more than 70,000 coaching calls.
Monica Reynolds has been a force in real estate leadership and coaching for decades. Known for her no-nonsense style, she built her career on discipline, repeatable systems, and the belief that agents deserve more than survival—they deserve scalable success. In this candid conversation, Monica opens up about her early years as a teacher, how stage four cancer reshaped her priorities, why hiring her first assistant doubled her business, and what the next generation of agents must embrace to thrive.
Key Takeaways:
- How Monica transitioned from teaching to real estate and scaled to 100M+ in sales.
- Why hiring her first assistant changed everything—and why most agents wait too long.
- The power of systems, discipline, and over-communication in building client trust.
- Why relationships, not technology, remain the foundation of real estate.
- Her perspective on coaching, AI, and what it takes to lead with truth and integrity.
The Helm was created to help more seasoned women in real estate confidently launch and scale their coaching businesses. Founder & CEO, Danielle Wilkie, recognized a powerful gap: women with decades of real estate experience were ready to lead, coach, and make a difference but lacked a roadmap to get there. We bring together a community of seasoned women ready to share their hard-earned wisdom and shape the future of the industry.
Through proven coaching frameworks, practical business strategy, and deep, real-world connection, we help women transform their expertise into profitable, purpose-driven coaching practices.
