So welcome back to another Espresso episode of Accelerating Careers in Real Estate. I'm your host Nick Carman and today I get to revisit one of our most popular episodes of all time. Amelia Bright, Executive Director of the London Estate for Grosvenor.
At the time of recording in 2020, Amelia had built a career of 13 years with the same employer, working in London and San Francisco. So how would she manage to maintain that steep learning curve whilst navigating the obstacles impeding her growth? The conversation highlights her journey from biochemistry student to real estate professional, the critical lessons learned about influencing without direct control, and her leadership philosophy focused on empowering her team. Amelia also reflects on the importance of hard work, seizing opportunities, and the non-linear path to success.

You're listening to Accelerating Careers in Real Estate with Nick Carman, brought to you by MacDonald Co. So in this episode, I once more dial the clock back to the summer of 2020. Time to prep that espresso or put the kettle on. With John Beswick, I get an episode unlike I had recorded before. Or since....
A Mad Idea to Africa
It started on a mad idea. We spent nine months driving down the West coast of Africa, crossed 33 countries, 33, 000 kilometers....
Formation of the Company
We found we'd met enough mining companies and expats and despots and everyone else that all promised us work that, uh, we started our own company as soon as we got back to London....
Lessons Learned and Business Growth
I think one of the lessons learned on these expeditions is to keep things simple. So I think in terms of my career aspirations, I'm not going to set out a career over the next 20 years and try and stick to it....
Setting Objectives and Resilience
setting yourself up. You set yourself an objective, you train, you plan, and then you, you know, whatever happens, you have to make that objective....
Overcoming Challenges with a Team
none of these have been done alone. They've all been done. Whether you see it or not, there's always a team involved, whether it's the team that you're doing it with or there's a team in the background....
World's Highest Dinner Party
a Guinness World Record holder for the highest black tie dinner party on Mount Everest at just over 7, 000 meters....
