Windermere, Florida, United States
I help leaders & sales professionals communicate with clarity, curiosity, and presence. Most often hired by leadership teams, sales organizations, and conference hosts seeking communication strategy grounded in real-world experience, not theory. ✓ Do conversations with clients, teams, or prospects feel surface level, or misaligned, even when intentions are good? ✓ Are you successful on paper, yet aware that miscommunication can cost opportunity, trust, clarity, or momentum? ✓ Do you or your team struggle to slow down and be fully present in moments that matter? ✓ Are scripts, tactics, or “what to say” advice falling flat because the way conversations are happening feel robotic or like a sea of sameness? ✓ Do you sense that stronger listening, better questions, and more intentional dialogue is needed to change outcomes, but you are not sure where to start? As a nationally recognized speaker & communication strategist, with work built on decades of real-world business leadership, I Co-Founded The Funk Collection real estate Team. A respected, relationship-driven real estate organization rooted in community, service, and earning trust. Building and sustaining a legacy real estate business required far more than sales skill. It demanded the ability to navigate high-stakes conversations involving in critical moments & life transitions. At the core of my approach is a foundation in customer service. Long before real estate, I learned how people FEEL in an interaction matters just as much as the outcome. Presence, curiosity, empathy, and respect for the human experience are not optional. They are the standard. Those principles are a defining differentiator in the real estate business we built & remain central to every keynote & training I deliver today. As an Exactly What to Say® Licensed Trainer since 2023, teaching the EWTS methodology focused on earning trust, strengthening relationships, and moving beyond robotic scripting is woven into the fabric of my teachings. My leadership is recognized by SUCCESS Magazine, naming me a 'SUCCESS 125 Leaders to Know'. Today, I speak and train nationally for organizations, leadership teams, conferences, and sales professionals who want to elevate how they communicate, lead with intention, and create clarity in conversations that matter most.

We are surrounded by information, tools, and tactics. And yet people feel more disconnected than ever. Presence Is a Gift is created for leaders, sales professionals, and organizations who recognize the quiet cost of misalignment, burnout, and disengagement, especially in those who do not show up on a spreadsheet. LAUNCHING 2026. Currently in Pre-Launch Phase, building strategic partnerships & curating founding community members. This work exists for what most organizations overlook: ~The conversations that never happen ~The signals people stop sending ~The moments where presence disappears and performance quietly follows ~This is not about scripts or saying the right thing faster. It is about creating space to be present, and learning how to lead conversations that actually empower people. Presence is not soft. It is strategic. And it is often a missing piece. This is for those who know that HOW conversations happen, matters just as much as WHAT is said. Interested in early access? Message Renee Funk 'LAUNCH' for details.
