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

Let's talk about love; how it's about releasing judgement about others- and yourself. In particular, let's talk about how lack of love interprets confidence as arrogance, assertiveness as aggression and makes self-care selfish. It's time to abandon the negative beliefs that keep us focused on limitation, lack, doubt and fear and step into the expansiveness that's possible in our life and career.
Always be clear on your motivations. Standing behind your expertise and a well researched solution is being confident in your ability to make a difference. Looking for the "ta-da" moment is arrogance.
Assertiveness is a form of advocacy. Staying quiet or passively taking instruction doesn't lead to an honest conversation or aid the co-creation process.
Self-care and maintaining clear boundaries is the opposite of selfish. Doing things for approval and acceptance comes from childish thinking. Adults stand in their power and claim the resources they need to be their best selves, knowing that from that place, they can have the greatest positive impact on others.
Love yourself by taking responsibility for yourself and love others by releasing the need to be responsible for them.

Leadership is about way more than your job description. In today's episode, Executive Leadership Coach Sarah Francescutti gives you the low down on acting up (for the role you want).
No more back room behavior like having a bad attitude, gossiping or complaining.
Reverse engineer your career path. Be proactive in seeking the training or skills you need and invest in yourself.
Expand your capacity to receive opportunities. You need to build up experiences and wisdom to lead with empathy and effectiveness.
Technical expertise is no substitute for people skills.
Leadership can be lopsided. Because no one is good at everything, focus on building up your strengths and working with others who have skills to offset your weaknesses.
Authenticity trumps all. People respond to the real you not a polished "shell" person with whom they cannot relate.

Are you crying with a loaf of bread under your arm? When loss and disappointment take over your psyche, reframe it by seeing what you do have. Listen in to learn how to see the patterns of achievement and build on them from the inside out.
Learn to savor your accomplishments, not pick them apart to find the flaws or missing pieces.
Stop future tripping and only seeing what you haven't yet achieved.
See the blessing in failure and not getting what you think you want
When you focus on lack, you get more of it- catch and redirect it before it creates a cascade of effects in your system.
Look for the patterns that led you to where you are- they are the breadcrumbs that will lead you to your most successful becoming.

Hey you toiling away and not enjoying a minute of it- there's a better way. To:Scale founder and nextgen architecture student Sana Tabassum shares a new perspective on finding the career(s) you love.
Try everything so you know what you like
Be proactive about developing skills. Give yourself safe space to cultivate them in your off time.
Interview a prospective employer as much as they are interviewing you. Work where they'll let you find yourself and reach your highest potential.
Find role models doing things that interest you, even if they seem unconventional. Network with them and let them show you what's possible
Be willing to share your process. It's almost as important as the finished product (and a whole lot more interesting if you want to learn something).

Here's stress relief tip: take a break from people pleasing (or actively resisting it). It's time to start being unapologetic about who you are, what you stand for and invte others to join you- or not.
You can choose to be either in compliance, defiance, or acceptance.
Stop accepting the premise that you need to make others happy. Focus on being aligned and taking actions in integrity instead.
Drop the story about needing approval, or else. When you stand in your power as your authentic self- you shift from saying "look at me," to "come with me."

Let's stop a bit to look at the "understood they." The dehumanization and villainization that comes from othering. Creating this separation lets us play the victim and make the success we see in others wrong all while limiting our own.
Like the grammatical understood you, understood they is an imperative. It creates separation between ourselves and others. We don't name our subject, just blame them.
Separation allows us to create a dichotomy- by making others wrong, we make ourselves a victim and give up our power.
Being a victim is a permission slip for inaction.
What if you could shift language from "me and them" to "we and us?"
When we are one, there can be no competition or jealousy. Instead, we can be in gratitude to those who are drawing our attention. We can thank them for leaving breadcrumbs of their path to success and even appreciate their mistakes for illuminating the pitfalls for us.

Stress is toxic. Our bodies evolved to react to perceived threats by giving us the physical stamina to escape. In today's world of chronic stress, that response is shutting down our access to the creative abilities and logical thinking we most need. And it's making us sick.
Take an energy inventory. Are you spending your time in the right places?
How can you turn your traumas and vulnerabilities into a superpower instead of a source of stress?
When you catch yourself in a stress response, use calming techniques to activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

Have you built your identity around external factors? Coach Aurora Meneghello shares how to get in touch with your deepest self so you can always take aligned action.
It's OK for your identity to evolve. The core of who you are stays the same, but doesn't need to be attached to outside indicators of identity.
When you are addicted to controlling, you lose resilience because you cannot control life
You become separated from your deeper self when you attach feeling good to success, security to money, and identity with your job.
When you are anchored with your deepest self, you can go anywhere and do anything without losing yourself.
Fear is a cue, not an end state- it is your indicator to look within and recalibrate so you can live from feeling good, not judgement.

Fear has many disguises; procrastination, perfectionism, control, busyness. In all cases, we are telling our dreams to sit in the back seat and shut up. As we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. let's remember that dreams are what changes the world.
Take some time to get reacquainted with your dreams. How are they signals of your passion and purpose? Understand that they are not fantasies, but clues leading you forward.
Think about why you have suppressed taking action on your dreams. What fears are behind the abandonment? What's motivating you to make other things a priority instead?
Decide to take action no matter what, even when your dreams seem like they have no connection to your higher purpose.
There's lots of things we put in the too hard basket, but dreams should never be one of them.

There is an art to being self aware but not self absorbed. To being emapthetic to others without compromising your boundaries.
See your own emotional patterns from a point of detachment, not trigger. Understand that you need to consciously work to unravel these stories and the bias filter they place on how you perceive the world.
Understand that others have their own filter and be curious about why instead of reacting to their behavior based on assumptions.
Ask questions instead of creating a story based on your ego narrative.
Focus on the why more than the what. Provide people with an emotional exit ramp so you can move past excuses and defensiveness and focus on solutions.
Pick your battles. Seek alignment through purpose not tasks.
Work on completing your thoughts through meditation and journaling so that you can more easily recognize your own story patterns.
