The Team Around the Table: A CRE Podcast

Show Notes

Michelle Ferguson is an author and founding member of Chief - a private network built to drive more women into positions of power and keep them there. Prior to that she was senior VP, Global Business Services and Senior VP Global Real Estate Strategies and Services at Standard & Poors.

In her new book, Women Mentoring Women, Michelle addresses the primary issue that she believes holds women back: lack of mentorship. High-level leaders have the knowledge and expertise to assist and train lower-level professionals in business to prepare them to advance in their careers. While education plays a role in helping women land a job, understanding the business culture helps them climb the ladder of success.
