Knowledge Forum Strategies to Build Your Career

2026-0520-WDC_KnowledgeForum_Career

Building a career in real estate isn’t just about landing a job. It’s about intentionally building a profession over time. We had a candid conversation designed for women across the built environment spectrum– from early to mid-career and senior executives navigating their next move. Ellen Klasson of RCLCO and Cindy Ma of UC Berkeley MREDD Career Development discussed what’s working, what isn’t, and how women are getting in front of key decision-makers. Moderated by Dicko Ba, author of Built to Land, this program explored the longer arc of professional development– who you’re becoming, how you build credibility, and how to stay strategic even when the path isn’t linear.
