For one thing, the process gives me a taste of what college admissions committees go through. To choose the 10 young professionals featured in this month\u2019s issue, the editors spend hours poring over a mound of applications submitted on behalf of smart, versatile and accomplished professionals, none older than 40.<\/p>\n<p>That also tells you why picking only 10 isn\u2019t just difficult, it\u2019s downright intimidating. These overachievers have already handled deals valued in the billions, managed high-profile projects, tied and untied difficult knots.<\/p>\n<p>Among them, this year\u2019s Stars offer a generous sampling of asset categories, professional specialties and geographic markets. The Class of 2018 includes a guiding force behind the revitalization of a San Francisco retail landmark; an architect who supervises California investment and development projects, specializing in clients from her native China; and a broker who tripled tenant-rep revenues in Chicago while also heading her company\u2019s national law firm practice (presumably without cloning herself).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also meet an entrepreneur who has built a $1 billion multifamily portfolio since 2008, as well as the 30-year-old leading the transformation of the iconic TWA terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport into a one-of-a-kind hotel. One data point strikes me as particularly encouraging: The 2018 Stars comprise five men and five women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each year, we ask <em>CPE<\/em>\u2019s Stars to share a piece of advice, whether it\u2019s wisdom that they\u2019ve picked up from a mentor or a principle they pass along to younger colleagues. So at this point, I\u2019ll yield the floor and close with three of my favorite observations from the Stars.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0 <em>On creativity<\/em>: \u201cLet your mind think creatively and take time to create. Ideas create value, and seeing value where others cannot means you will always be an integral part of a transaction or a company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0 <em>On the journey<\/em>: \u201cDon\u2019t let your college major, previous work experience or money define your career choice and path. Take the time to reflect on yourself, pause and think about what direction you want to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0 <em>And finally, on learning<\/em>: \u201cYou never know 100 percent of something. Someone will always know more than you do, so go out and seek that knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>You\u2019ll find more on this topic in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluetoad.com\/publication\/?i=480240&amp;ver=html5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 2018 issue<\/a> of CPE.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite CPE rituals is the annual selection of our Stars to Watch.
