Daphna Fields

Gibson Sotheby's International Realty

Daphna Fields played a pivotal role in guiding Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty through the transformative period that was 2025. As vice president of brokerage development, she collaborated closely with leadership to anticipate and respond to sweeping industry changes, including revised standards of practice, updated listing display policies and significant state-level regulatory updates in Massachusetts. Her forward-thinking approach ensured advisors were not only compliant, but confident and client-ready.

Fields led brokerage-wide training sessions, targeted workshops and individualized coaching to translate complex rule changes into clear, practical strategies advisors could communicate effectively to consumers. These efforts strengthened transparency, reinforced professionalism and helped safeguard buyers and sellers during a time of heightened industry scrutiny.

In parallel, Fields launched an internal Leadership Development Program designed to prepare high-potential advisors for future management roles. Through structured mentorship, skill-building and real-world application, the program is cultivating the next generation of office directors and brokerage leaders, strengthening the firm’s long-term culture and growth.

“I find great fulfillment in helping advisors achieve their goals and guiding them to those ‘aha moments’ where new ideas click and confidence grows,” says Fields. “I thrive on creating spaces where individuals can lean into their own expertise while also learning from the diverse perspectives of those around them. That combination of teaching, learning and mutual support not only strengthens our organization, but also inspires me every day.”
