Hello World! incisivemedia, parent of GlobeSt.com, THE most respected and well-known name in U.S. commercial real estate media (that’s my opinion!), has graciously asked me to write this blog. Given the current economic environment, GlobeSt.com saw a need to communicate the perspective of both the corporate real estate occupant and its advisors. While I am already the author of two other blogs, one on corporate real estate and another on careers and business philosophy, two books on corporate real estate, and over 90 white papers on this subject and others, because of the respect I have for the folks at GlobeSt.com and their dedication to the commercial real estate industry, I happily agreed to do this.
I am grateful to have been invited to become GlobeSt.com’s partner in this endeavor. I am extremely excited to be working with them, and am eager to provide you with my thoughts and ideas. I don’t expect you to agree with all of what I write. In fact, from time to time, you may completely disagree with me. Some of you may think I’m a total idiot..we’ll see. In that case, I do hope you’ll have the stones to let me know your thoughts by writing replies to my posts. If you feel the urge, I invite you to let me have it…out loud…but, only if I really deserve it. Afterall, successful real estate professionals like you and me must have strong backbones and thick skin. In our business, we have to be built to last. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to do much good for our clients, who rely on us to help them accomplish their objectives and to protect their interests. So, go ahead! When you feel inspired, give me your best shot. I can take it! But, don’t be surprised if I give it back to you, too.
