Doing The Right Things Well
Episode 01: Featuring CBRE
This first episode features two leading executives from CBRE, focusing on diverse employee recruitment, culture, and the role of an organization within communities.
CBRE is a global leader in commercial real estate services and investments - providing services, insights, and data that span every dimension of the industry, they create solutions for clients of every size, in every sector, and across every geography.
In our first episode, we sit down with leaders from CBRE, a global leader in commercial real estate, to discuss their approach to employee empowerment, community engagement, and inclusive leadership.
In our conversation with Lewis Horne and Jessica Lall, we learn about the company’s swift and compassionate response to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, highlighting the team’s commitment to the communities they live and work in.
Hear more about how CBRE is doing the right things well, leveraging their organizational strength to make meaningful contributions when communities need it most.
“With these fires in LA and the outpouring of support from CBRE to the people who have lost homes or have been displaced, it’s what most people might expect from friends, but not from a company.”
“We’re showing up in meaningful ways. We don’t wait around for somebody to tell us what to do. That’s the intrinsic nature of how we behave for our clients, for our employees, for the communities where we operate. We’re just trying to show up with no agenda other than to be of service.”
