Kiell of JLL discusses job experience as an auditor

Name: Lisa Kiell Title: International Director Company Name: JLL Years in Commercial Real Estate: 20 What were your biggest fears when you started out in your profession? I was afraid that people wouldn't hire a young woman to represent them. What was your first job and what did you learn from it? My first job was as an auditor in a public accounting firm. I learned the importance of working hard and being detail-oriented. I had mostly real estate clients and found that I liked what my clients did and not necessarily what I did for them. What is your favorite quote? Less serious quote, but one of my favorites is one from Wayne Gretzky who said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." What are you doing to increase your client base from local / regional markets to national / global markets? I always make sure my clients are aware of JLL's global reach. I regularly schedule meetings with our international colleagues to introduce them to our clients in New York.
