Amy welcomes guest John Crossman this week on the Performance Mindset Podcast. John has been a real estate executive, speaker, and author and is most known for his organizational go-to market strategies. He now provides consulting services and still does commercial real estate as well. John has a passion for helping young professionals, which is one of the reasons John and Amy initially connected. His latest book is Career Killers/Career Builders, and in it, he shares some of the keys to his professional and personal success, including the importance of being coachable.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

1. John Crossman’s background, what led him to the commercial real estate industry, and how a transition coach helped him find his current path.
2. Why he believes it’s important for the commercial real estate industry to continue to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion and what the return on that investment can look like.
3. What inspired him to write his book Career Killers/Career Builders.
4. His advice for Gen Z coming into the workplace and why they should avoid being defined by a narrative that paints the entire group negatively.
5. The reason mentors are important to have and why that mentor may not even know you’re looking up to them.
6. The advice John would give to his younger self based on the life lessons he’s learned along the way.
