Commercial Brokers at Jones Lang Lasalle encounter challenging situations every day. Do you consider yourself a patient person in the face of a challenge?

"As an experienced Commercial Broker, I certainly understand that challenges will come my way daily. I am patient in the face of a challenge, but I would say this patience is more of a learned skill than something innate. I have worked to become more patient and not demonstrate frustration in the workplace. I know when challenging situations push me, it's counterproductive, so I remind myself of that. I know when I'm running out of patience and am proactive asking for some time to regroup as appropriate."

"I do consider myself a patient person. I would rate myself an 8/10 for patience because I certainly have room to grow, but I do have a very long fuse. If I need a patience boost in a challenging situation, I will take a step away, and return to the situation when I feel ready. I recently read, 'The Power of Patience' by M.J. Ryan, which gave me some excellent new methods for coping with stress."
