ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design

Got so many letters after your name that it doesn't fit in your LinkedIn Profile? *whomp whomp* Credentials don't equal career momentum . Listen in to learn how to be strategic in claiming professional standing and subject matter expertise.
Credentials are not a measure of your worth. Never pursue one to get a competitive edge or prove you can do something.
As you follow your north star in your career, look for gateway credentials that are necessary like licensure or a specialty credential that establishes your subject matter expertise in an area you want to be the go to guru.
Consider the ROI of any credential. If it's not building the opportunity pipeline you want, don;t bother.
Credentials that aren't put to use are useless. Think about what new doors you want to open. How will this certification, degree, license or membership build your network and add rocket fuel to your passion projects?

Quiet quitting is not empowering.  In fact, it's a cry for help. Find out why this strategy, rooted in passive aggressive behaviors, won't actually help you advocate for the career you want. Listen in to learn what does work in renegotiating your workday.
Work you love should give you energy. If you're feeling exhausted, it's a sign you need to realign your work with your passion.
If you feel apathetic about your work, it means you need to change one or more of the following: the role you play on projects, the type of projects you do, your firm, or your career path.
Avoiding conflict is not a conflict resolution strategy.
Have the hard talks with your employer and negotiate for what you want or need.
Be solution oriented, not problem driven.
Proactively pursue the career you want instead of coping with the career you have by default.

We test materials to the point of failure, adding more and more stress and pressure.  As humans, we do not require any such testing to prove our worth. Codependency tricks us into believing we do and we're all paying the price as it becomes institutionalized in our profession.
Codependency has nothing to do with your strength of character or resilience. It's rooted in your need to make others happy at the expense of your own well being.
Signs that you have a problem with codependency include, need for control, perfectionism, suppressing your emotions, losing your own identity and sense of what you actually want and need.
Codependency has become institutionalized in our profession and looks like overperforming, lack of respect for schedules, and sacrificing fees or staff well being to please a client.
Getting out of codependency requires getting back in touch with your own identity, needs and wants and making them non-negotiable.

Feeling like it's all work and no play? Like your job is just a frustration cycle? This episode explores how your struggle to feel seen and heard might originate with you. When you invalidate your needs or contributions, you set yourself up for less respect and more stress. Learn how to stop all that and feel good about work again.
You are big energy- but you don't need to be in crisis mode to access that power, decisiveness and directness.
Find small ways to assert your needs and abilities until you feel comfortable asserting in bigger ways.
Never invalidate how you feel or what you can contribute just because it doesn't meet with immediate understanding or acceptance.
Don't get triggered or sucked into someone else's story. Ask the questions you need to shine a flashlight onto issues.
Determine your non-negotiables as let the rest go.

How can you be inspired to push beyond the limits of what you believe is possible?
how can your work both aspire and inspire others?
How can lives be improved through better design?

Success is an inside job. Putting more focus on achieving than evolving is a zero sum game. Break free from the polarized thinking that traps you into thinking that if you aren't achieving you're failing.
If it seems like no matter what you achieve, you still feel empty, it's because you are looking for success outside yourself.
Achieving comes as a consequence of evolution. Being clear about who you are and what you want will lead to opportunities.
There is no failure. There is curiosity, learning and discovery.
Be unapologetic about your evolution by tapping into your internal clarity and accepting all parts of yourself.
Following the rules is never as important as following your heart.
