LETTERS
Robert Trematerra
My name is Robert Trematerra and I have been an employee of Daryl's for many years. I'm writing this letter to share firsthand what I have experienced while working for Daryl. Not too long after starting with his mortgage company, he sent the office an invitation to hear a motivational Speaker. I have to tell you, this was not my idea of a good time. All I thought about was how this was a huge waste of time when we could be making money. I started asking around the office and all anyone could tell me was to go. As the event grew closer and closer a buzz started to take over the office as if the Queen bee was going to do something really big. I remember the day of the event. It was like 500+ kids were going to Disneyland. I didn't get it but I was going anyway. In the grand ballroom a big stage was set with lights, cameras, screens the works. Daryl was on stage to introduce the guest speaker. When Daryl took the mic, you could hear a pin drop and he began to speak. For about 5 minutes I witnessed something amazing. How one man could stand up on stage and thank his people from the heart. He truly cared about his employees and we all knew it. Now, for the life of me, I could not tell you who the guest speaker was that day, but that was the day my life changed.
As time went on, I got to know Daryl. I found out that his passion in life was to inspire, to teach and lead with the highest level of integrity. I was learning something new from him almost every day and he was paying me to do it. I started to feel guilty so I asked him why, why do you help others to become better? He answered, because I enjoy it. There is no better feeling than to help others succeed.
A few months later we had another company event. This time it was going to be different, Daryl was the keynote speaker. I was thinking this was going to be difficult. The Mortgage Market started to take a turn for the worse and moral was down. Daryl had to stand in front of 500+ people and try to pull them up. This time I got a great seat, I wanted to see and hear everything he had to say. I wanted to know how Daryl was going to fix the Mortgage crisis we were in. When Daryl took the floor, he didn't talk about the market. He talked about us, as a company and as individuals. Not about the business, but about our everyday lives. During his talk, people were laughing and at times crying. He has the ability to touch so many. He knew that what we did in our home lives would carry over to the workplace. He was right! He and his partner created a work environment that everyone wanted to be a part of.
I was also fortunate to attend a life planning day that Daryl led. This was the next step into helping me shape who I am today. I thought this was going to be Daryl teaching me about life's trials and tribulations, but I was wrong. He helped me to unleash the tools I have inside myself to become a leader, to truly care for and nurture my relationships. At times, even laugh at myself. I hope sharing this information with you was helpful. I have seen firsthand the impact Daryl has made to large groups, boardrooms as well as myself. I'm sure you and your group will enjoy the time you share with him.
Sincerely,
Robert Trematerra
