Sylvia Lau
Managing Director, Value & Risk Advisory, Greater China
This International Women’s Day and every day, we are proud to recognize our inspiring women leaders and allies at JLL.
Who is a female inspiration/role model to you and why?
Definitely my mother is my role model. Watching my mum working for over 45 years, starting from secretary to general manager, I am constantly inspired by her never-say-die spirit.
Why does inclusion matter to you?
This is the only way you can grow your business. Without a“true” inclusive mindset, you would exclude talent who are different from you and your inner group that you can only hear the same old things again and again.
How are you inspiring women to achieve their ambitions at JLL?
Be yourself! You still can be a leader without acting like men; you still can wear trendy clothes; you still can be a great mum even if you are a leader. You can be an authentic leader in your own way.
