Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others.

It’s that time of year where we get to reflect and account for the year’s activities and results. When I set out to start the Takeaways Podcast I did not imagine some of the twists and turns we’d take. After twelve months and 20 episodes I am proud of what we’ve accomplished. There were many things we said we would do that we did. And there were things that we didn’t get to.

With me on this episode to recap Season 1 is  Reed Gottesman, Vice President Regional Director of Leasing at Harsch Investment Properties. Anyone who knows Reed knows that he has the unique ability to really see people. I call him a human profiler. Reed generously took the time to hear back every episode to prepare for this podcast. We turned the table and Reed was the one asking the questions. There is a lot of texture and nuance that we explored in this conversation. Reed got me to share more about my experience as a podcaster this year, how I focused on process vs. perfection, and even adversity from my past that I don’t usually talk about. We ended the show with thoughts and ideas of what to expect from Season 2 of Takeaways!

Here are just a few of the Takeaways that we discussed on this episode.

• What were the influences that caused me to start the Takeaways podcast?
• Takeaways of Takeaways – How has the podcast evolved? How have I evolved as a person and ‘interviewer’?
• What were the Takeaways of each episode?

This year marks a DLI (Developing Leaders Institute) milestone for NAIOP Southern Nevada. It is our 10th Anniversary since the inaugural class graduated. We plan to host an event honoring all our alumni this summer with Chairman Greg Fuller attending as our special guest.

Currently we are busy planning for the 2020 class that is set to commence this September. We held our kickoff meeting in January where we divided the committee into subcommittees to focus on refining the class curriculum and class project. The committee plans to distribute the application for the 2020 candidates March 15, 2019.

If you know of an aspiring leader in CRE and think they would be a great fit for the DLI program, please send your candidate referrals to the Committee Chair, Sabrina Borghoff or NAIOP Southern Nevada 702-798-7194 | info@credasnv.org for more information.

As Nevada’s leading commercial real estate and development association, NAIOP Southern Nevada has set a standard for membership, participation, and referrals between members and their companies. Among the top commercial real estate organizations in Las Vegas, NAIOP has the largest membership, highest attendance records and raises the most money for charity year after year. That is something to be extremely proud of!

In 2018, membership grew to more than 550 members and the local Chapter raised almost $500,000 from events and sponsorships. The chapter hosted nineteen different programs ranging from breakfast panels with local and regional experts, real estate and development educational workshops, industry tours, projections on current and future markets to special events such as bowling for a cause and the much anticipated annual bus tour. The Chapter’s ability to create, nurture and host events is second to none. With a reach of more than 1,500 people, the Chapter left a memorable impression on the market this past year.

In what other ways has NAIOP made a mark? Our commitment to volunteering and social outreach has beneficially impacted hundreds of lives throughout the valley. The organization’s presence on social media and commitment to local charity events has set a new standard for corporate responsibility. Through 11 different committees, 250 social media posts, 50+ media mentions, 170+ committee members, and countless meetings; the group has been able to make a difference locally, regionally and even on a national scale.

Most people join an organization to create more business, grow their network, or market themselves and their companies, but NAIOP Southern Nevada successfully gives those reasons substance. As the 12th largest Chapter in the nation and 5th in growth, we have much to celebrate, but the Chapter isn’t stopping there. With 2019 President, Shawn Danoski at the helm, the goal for 2019 is nothing less than a record-breaking growth of increasing membership to 600+ members, along with a continuing increase in Chapter revenue.

When setting your goals for 2019, consider making NAIOP a priority. If you’re not yet a member, join. If you’re already a member, take some next steps by attending more events and even volunteering on a committee. If you’re interested in taking your involvement to the next level, join NAIOP Corporate. Make the most of your membership by getting more involved and you’ll gain valuable insights and connections. NAIOP Works. Get Involved.
