In the world of commercial real estate, sometimes the most exceptional talent comes from the most unexpected places. With a background in product development and brand marketing, my journey has been anything but conventional. My career has always focused on creating exceptional experiences, a skill that Cushman & Wakefield saw the potential in, integrating it across the breadth of commercial real estate services. This innovative approach is reflected every day in the people we hire. We've found success by welcoming individuals from diverse sectors like retail, hospitality, and the hotel industry. Our focus? Cultivating a team with immense empathy, robust communication skills, and the courage to navigate ambiguity in a complex world where answers aren't always clear-cut. It's about looking beyond the conventional, recognizing that sometimes, the most extraordinary solutions arise from the least expected places. #teamaroundthetable

There’s right ambition and wrong ambition. When I started at Savills 16 years ago, it was crucial to my growth because it kept me humble. By setting high goals, I confronted my shortcomings. The awareness helped me avoid arrogance. I seek this same ambition in new hires. They need high goals and self-awareness. When someone has that fire, they elevate the team. This is how we get ambition right—driven by self-awareness and the desire to maximize our potential. But above all, ambition allows us to fulfill Kendrick Lamar's prophesy: Be Humble.

We are often faced with the choice of taking the easy route or pushing ourselves to achieve something greater. As John F. Kennedy said, "We choose to go to the Moon…and do other things not because they are easy but because they are hard." Let's aspire to think big and ignore artificial barriers that may hold us back. It's important to challenge ourselves and strive for greatness, even when it may seem daunting. By doing so, we can achieve incredible things that we never thought possible.

Here's the most touching review you're going to read for today!:)

As I sit in my office, overlooking this incredible view, I can’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come in my journey. Working as a Property Manager for JLL MENA is a dream I once only imagined—and today, it’s my reality. This didn’t happen overnight. It took resilience, dedication, and a willingness to step out of my comfort zone. Along the way, I’ve faced challenges, learned valuable lessons, and grown both personally and professionally. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: dreams are worth chasing. The road may not always be easy, but every step forward—big or small—takes you closer to the life you envision. To anyone out there pursuing their dreams: Stay persistent. Trust the process. Surround yourself with people who lift you up. And most importantly, never stop believing in what’s possible. Here’s to turning aspirations into accomplishments. What’s the dream you’re chasing? Let’s inspire each other. #DreamBig #PropertyManagement #Inspiration #ChasingDreams #JLLMENA

As I reflect on completing my first 6 months as a Senior Property Manager at Crawford Real Estate, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude and renewal. For the past 12 years, I’ve been immersed in the world of property management—working through the highs and lows, facing challenges head-on, and, honestly, feeling burnt out at times. Like many in the industry, the nature of the work—conflict resolution, constant problem-solving, and navigating the difficult moments—often overshadows the highs. It's an aspect of property management people rarely talk about. But the truth is, at times, I lost my passion, my inspiration, and even my sense of purpose in the work I loved. I had to dig deep to find joy in other areas—whether it was through personal growth, discovering new passions outside of work, or seeking out a supportive and positive workplace culture that could remind me why I got into this field in the first place. Fast forward to today, and I can honestly say that joining Crawford Real Estate has reignited my love for property management. It's more than just the challenges or the day-to-day tasks. It's the incredible team culture, the laughter that fills the office, the feeling of support, and the opportunity for growth and reward. The leadership here truly cares about fostering an environment where people feel inspired, valued, and motivated to do their best work. If you’re feeling burned out or disconnected from your passion—don’t give up. Sometimes, it just takes finding the right workplace, the right culture, and the right team. So, my advice to anyone struggling in their career is this: Don’t be afraid to search for the right office. It will come, and when it does, you’ll rediscover the joy and purpose you thought you lost.

Despite never having had a pumpkin spice latte, I've always been a big lover of all things Autumn: chunky sweaters, college football, candy corn, big pots of chicken and dumplings, all of the best things in life. Autumn has also historically been the biggest season of change for me over the years: changing jobs, moving between states, getting married, leaving Wells Fargo... and now going back to Wells Fargo. I've been calling my two years with CBRE my "sabbatical", a term I say with lots of love and one that feels true. By definition, a sabbatical is "a prolonged break that allows an individual to focus on other interests or activities". Don't get me wrong, I worked my freaking butt off in my time at CBRE, but a lot of the time, it didn't feel like work because I was doing things that I am passionate about with people that I love working with. My time with CBRE was so much more than I ever could have imagined it would be when I showed up on my first day. I learned more about myself than I thought I could in a role - what I'm really good at, what I'm not so good at, when to speak up, when to listen, where to find a path forward when all signs point to dead ends and what the difference is between being a manager and a leader. I learned that there's a word for what I want to do when (if) I grow up: workplace experience. And boy, oh boy, do I freaking love it. Not only am I a better professional because of CBRE, but I'm a better Alyssa. And don't even get me started on the amazing people that I met along the way — a kaleidoscope of beautiful humans as colorful as peacocks and with integrity, empathy and excellence woven into their DNA. Then an opportunity came up to rejoin my old team at Wells Fargo and slide back into space planning, something that I knew I wasn't quite done with as evidenced by the fact that I would fangirl about occupancy planning every chance I got during my time at CBRE. I hate putting real puzzles together (every piece fits with every other piece if you push it hard enough) but putting real estate puzzles together -- that feels like magic to me. Large-scale building consolidations and long-term strategic planning?! Count me IN! A few days shy of when I left WF in 2022, I walked back through the doors of 550 with an employee badge in my hand and ready to embark on a new (old) adventure. The last three weeks of getting reacclimated to life on the Stagecoach has been filled with joy, smiles and a few people that look like they've seen a ghost when they see me. (It *is* spooky season, after all!) Leaning into this weird aspect of my personality, I'm thrilled to be back in a world where I can create block plan masterpieces with all of the pretty colors that Adobe has to offer and feel the satisfaction of a stack plan that shows blocks of adjacent vacancy for future growth. Lemme know if you'd like front row tickets to my TED Talk on how occupancy planning is an important cornerstone of workplace experience. Cheers! 🩷
