Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

Nick Carman

Nick Carman is Partnership Director at Macdonald and Company. In this podcast, he explores a theory he has built after 15 years in recruiting in real estate, interviewing more than 1000 industry professionals. We ALL, when we enter our chosen career, accelerate; we learn and develop quickly... but this period of acceleration eventually slows and we reach a period of consolidation. But what if, during this period of consolidation, we could unlock something that would allow us to regain the same pace of acceleration we first experienced and continue to grow? Nick talks with industry experts to find out.

Episode 9 - Gary Mcluskey

Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

play

09/03/20 • 50 min

In this episode Gary led me on a journey of his career, passions and motivations. We talked for nearly 3 hours and I'm only sorry we couldn't get more into this episode. He was a fascinating character who has never stopped asking why something is the way it is. He has, as an architect, questioned every aspect of a building and how its put together and at times gone well beyond what was expected of him to achieve the impossible. There is no doubt this level of focus and investigation is a sympton of his accelerating career and how he managed to reinvent and challenge himself constantly.

In this interview I sit down with James Pellatt, Director of Workplace and Innovation for Great Portland Estates. In the interview James and I discuss his career in developing several of London's best known office developments, his ambition in his earlier career to move closer to the ultimate decision makers and what had been occasionally construed as mischievous curiosity in his earlier career chapters eventuality led him to a very unique role searches for answers to several of the biggest questions affecting the office sector. James' ability to accelerate his career is credited to his curiosity, frustration and motivation to deliver a better solution. Not one to let the market status quo dictate this ultimate constraints. He shows how he accelerates in each chapter to learn by searching more influence in decisions. James is now a leading voice, not only in his employer but the industry in how it imagines the office in 2030.

In this episode I am joined By Charlie Walsh, Director of Sales for Lodha Group, international development company responsible for One Grosvenor Square one of the world's finest residential super prime projects. Charlie and I discuss his career to date from Bristol, London, Dubai and back to London now responsible for sales strategy for this +£bn portfolio of luxury residential homes.

07/09/20 • 28 min

In this episode I sit down with Jon Beswick, Founder of Adventure in Architecture. Jon right from the gun set out on a unique career path and didn’t subscribe to what many others consider to be our measures of success. Jon has built an architectural and now development practice to accommodate his other true passion in life and that is conquering the impossible feats across the globe. Jon’s sense of success is different to many and balancing these two passions and fusing them to mean that both flourish is what gives him his drive. In this episode you will hear us discuss how he established his business based on lessons he learnt from exploring Africa in a Defender, through to a ski to the south pole to his world record breaking exploits including the World’s Highest Dinner Party held at 6,500m.

Episode 4 - Brian De'ath

Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

play

06/25/20 • 35 min

In this episode I sit down with Brian De’ath to hear of his career from estate agent to one of the most recognisable names in residential sales in London. His role at Canary Wharf means he is in control of 4,700 residential pipeline for the goliath of London property Canary Group, but joined them at a time when they had never delivered a single home. We talk about the importance of seizing those opportunities, having an open mind and remaining humble. I ask Brian what it meant to work for the huge personalities of Tony Pidgley, Killian Hurley and Sir George Icaobescu. You can make up your own mind on why Brian has succeeded but for me it was his drive, determination and eagerness to put himself in those uneasy situations and gain the energy from those events to succeed.

06/10/20 • 31 min

We talk about pushing yourself, risks of taking too much on, imposter syndrome and when to seize career opportunities. You can make up your own mind on why Morwenna has been so successful and accelerated her growth, but for its unwavering determination to challenge the status quo and not to simply blindly follow the path of others.

Episode 2 - Roger Madelin CBE

Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

play

05/30/20 • 52 min

This evening I am joined by Roger Madelin CBE, Head of British Land’s Canada Water masterplan and former CEO of Argent and the chief visionary for Kings Cross. Roger and I discussed his earliest career from contractor to developer, the struggles he faced with a scheme like Kings Cross, what drives him and motivates him. He has a true passion for what he does and an incredible engine and confidence that he was on the right path with Kings Cross well before others saw the same vision. What I found fascinating was talking to Roger he has reached some dizzy heights in terms of titles and responsibilities but had no problem sharing and ultimately relinquishing these titles as he concentrated on his passions: the projects and the impact these have on the people in them.

Episode 1 - Marc Vlessing

Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

play

05/18/20 • 58 min

In this episode with Marc Vlessing, we listen to how he has started careers in three separate sectors. I believe Marc could have been successful in whatever industry he choose, but for the past 16 years his chosen career has been as CEO for Pocket Living in the starter home market. I thought my favourite lesson I learnt from Marc was the importance of PURPOSE he speaks very passionately about these earlier careers and demonstrating real chameleon talents to adapt yet ultimately he left them behind, yet with pocket he experienced slower growth of this business compared to his earlier achievements, arguably he has faced much steeper hurdles yet what made him stick at it AND I believe it was because he has found his PURPOSE. And for anyone looking for a key of how to accelerate their careers do you know what your PURPOSE IS?

Episode 10 - Will Bax

Accelerating Careers in Real Estate

play

09/17/20 • 53 min

Will began a career in politics before pivoting to real estate. He built a blistering 15 year career with Grosvenor in the UK and Paris ending his journey as the Executive Director for the London Portfolio with £5bn AUM. He chose to leave that behind to begin a role that needed to really benefit society and not simply to pay a shareholder a dividend. He found it when he agreed to become the CEO of Retirement Villages Group. Will describes his career through successive stages of achievements, deep personal tragedy and thoroughly steep learning curve.
