What separates effective coaching from surface-level advice? In episode 237 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak continues being interviewed by Rex Afrasiabi and Chanell McAsey on The Real Estate Renovators, pulling back the curtain on the methods and mindsets that deliver results for his clients.

Unlike many coaches who focus on one discipline, Darren blends leadership development, business strategy, sales performance, and mindset coaching within a framework built specifically for commercial real estate principals. This industry focus, with a blend of pure coaching with practical advice, means his clients skip the explanations for their coach and move straight into solutions for their business.

He explains why delegation is a leadership superpower, how the function funnel helps principals and agents to free up time, and why shifting beliefs is often the key to unlocking growth. Darren also shares client success stories that prove what's possible with the right mix of accountability, perspective, and strategy.

You'll discover:
🔹 Why CRE-specific coaching drives faster results
🔹 How the function funnel creates more capacity in business
🔹 The mindset shifts principals must make to scale
🔹 Real examples of how clients have transformed their results

If you want a clearer picture of what business coaching looks like in practice, this episode gives you the inside view.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
