Choose your words – and fewer of them, please!

Posted by on Mar 1, 2017 in Austin, CCIM, Commercial Real Estate, CREW Austin, CTCAR, IREM, Newsworthy, Texas, Uncategorized |

That’s me – if I’m running a conference call, I tend to talk too much — even if we have an agenda, I wander off topic and I’m sure can be confusing to anybody on the call.  On the flip side, I have been on a call where the same thing happens and find myself losing focus and checking email…  so presumably this is happening to others, too.  We are in such a rush, we have too much on our plates, we are trying to cram in way too many meetings, every day, every...

Generational Shoppers – The Millennial

Posted by on Dec 2, 2016 in Austin, CCIM, Commercial Real Estate, CREW Austin, CTCAR, IREM, Newsworthy, Texas, Uncategorized |

Having been in the commercial real estate business for 30+ years, and a shopper myself, I recognize that different generations behave and respond differently.  Needs, convenience, disposable income, time all things to consider.  Each generation thinks the next one has it ‘easier’, although maybe it’s just DIFFERENT.  Shopping centers, malls, town centers, strip centers – all have been around for a long time, and have seen style changes.  The thing that seems to be...

We all feel pressure and stress from time to time, some more than others.  How we deal with it is key to how we feel and how we SEE the world we are in.  I don’t know about you, but finding the BALANCE between personal and work lives can be tricky.  Spouse, children, household, and most importantly our own health is at risk if we don’t take some time to breathe…  Check out this article from...

Lose The Pitch: Getting to Know You

Posted by on Apr 28, 2016 in Uncategorized |

Every networking group has stressed the need for a fine-tuned “elevator speech” – the short-and-sweet canned script to recite when meeting a business prospect at the many industry-related luncheons and events we attend regularly.  But I like the step back as described in ABJ Austin’s posted article today.  Lose the pitch and try getting to know the person first.  I believe this is not a strange concept for women in my Commercial Real Estate field — CREW members...

CREW Network: Membership Advantages

Posted by on Jan 6, 2014 in Austin, Commercial Real Estate, CREW Austin |

The end of the calendar year is always the most expensive time of the year for me, both personally and professionally.  Year end brings us back-to-back holidays, gifts for family, friends and clients, parties and get-togethers (never empty-handed), and then there’s the dues and membership renewals that really add up to a lot of moolah.  As we make our list of new year resolutions, and plans for the year ahead, one of the tasks I try to repeat is a recap of the previous year’s expenses and...
