Changing Paces - The Pace Shift™ Strategy: Repositioning Commercial Real Estate in a Shifting marketplace and global Economy
The most critical and often overlooked part of any transition and transaction is in the middle of Change.
The Pace Shift™ is a leadership and commercial real estate readiness framework that helps professionals energetically leverage and execute through a paradigm shift personally and professionally.
The middle is not just a pause — it’s a high-energy zone where emotion, intuition, and innovation collide. It’s where people either build momentum or stall out. The way a leader shows up in that space—how they manage their internal rhythm and external influences—affects everything and everyone around them: clients, team performance, community trust, economic impact, even your personal finances will ALWAYS be ready for a state of Changing Paces.
