Can You Have it All in the New Age of Business?

In a session last week at the inaugural GlobeSt. ELITE Women of Influence Conference, a high-profile CRE leader discussed the struggles of being a woman in the business today and how she is grooming the next generation of leaders.

“We can get as much done as we want to get done,” says Collete English-Dixon, executive director of Roosevelt University’s Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate.

BROOMFIELD, CO—Last week at GlobeSt. ELITE Women of Influence conference, Collete English-Dixon, executive director of Roosevelt University’s Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate, and real estate chair of the university’s Heller College of Business, discussed the struggles of being a woman in business today. She talked about the concept of “having it all,” challenges in the industry, and how she is currently working to groom the next generation of real estate leaders.

When moderator Christine Chipurnoi, SVP Real Estate Construction & Hospitality at USI Insurance Services, asked about her move to academia, English-Dixon said it was probably one of her biggest moves in her career. “I decided to launch myself into the marketplace not knowing if they cared… I had always been a deal person.” She explained that moving into academia was a challenge but the reason she decided to do it was because she really believed in future talent. “I thought, now I can potentially influence that talent directly so I jumped into it. I still get a lot of pleasure out of having a tangible impact on talent.”
