Ep. 126: “Changes Are Coming” – How To Educate Yourself for What’s Next in CRE and Managing the Built Environment with Tom Sicola of Focal Point

Tom Sicola is an Executive Business and Leadership Coach specializing in CRE operations and engineering, with a particular focus on helping transitioning accounts achieve long-term success. Mike Petrusky asks Tom about his career journey, including over a decade at JLL, and how continuous learning and staying updated with changes in the industry is essential for professionals in the built environment. They explore the significant challenges of change and uncertainty FM leaders face today, including finding more talent in the built environment, rebalancing real estate portfolios, and implementing return-to-office policies. Mike and Tom agree that change management is often poorly handled because of fear and anxiety from leaders and there's a need for a culture that encourages learning opportunities that can come from experiencing failure. Tune in for the inspiration and encouragement you need to be an Asset Champion in your organization!
