NASHVILLE—Is achieving a perfect work/life balance an impossible dream? In a previous interview, incoming SIOR president Angela West, SIOR, laid out her plans for her year in office.

So in this video interview, GlobeSt.com editorial advisor John Salustri turned the spotlight on how a commercial real estate executive can successfully juggle career (West is an office broker in the Tulsa office of CBRE), family and volunteerism. It's an eye opener, especially for those looking to have it all.

In the interview, you'll hear:

  • West's thoughts on if work/life balance is indeed a myth;
  • How to juggle not two, but three important jobs;
  • If the expectations are still different for women than men; and
  • Advice for up-and-comers in the industry.
