Inspire Inclusion: International Women's Day Interview with Diana Nicklaus

We celebrate 2024 International Women's Day by focusing on ways to inspire inclusion. Hear from Diana Nicklaus, founder of saam architecture, a revolutionary firm about what an inclusive practice environment involves

1. Everyone needs to work in an environment that allows them to succeed. By removing the career speedbumps of  rigid practice structures, every member of the firm can work in a way that allows them to show up as their most creative selves.
2. Being empowered to thrive also means that you have to ask for the resources you need and to understand of a firm's culture is the right fit for you. Not everyone is a good match for every firm.
3. Go in a direction that feels right even if it means you have to learn as you go.
4. Inclusion is what happens when you give everyone the same set of tools. It's amazing what someone can do when given the opportunity.
5. Feeling safe enough to clearly communicate your challenges is what ultimately let's you succeed.
6. Build a network to expand your awareness of what's possible in your career and provide a sounding board for your questions, doubts and fears.
