In this crossover episode, you'll hear the conversation we had on Architects as Healers: Buildings as Medicine with Martin Prince-Parrott about his new book Urban Healthonomics. You'll learn practical strategies to build for health, well being and economic vitality. The economics of sustainable healthy cities in an interconnected web of downstream (consumer) and upstream (policies/incentives). Look at change from multiple viewpoints: citizen, architect, engineer, developer, policy maker, stakeolder There are tangential economic impacts to poor air quality urban heat islands, water pollution, and social isolation. Addressing them requires forging uncommon public and private partnerships. Cities are multi-generational Preventing despair is our imperative. In hope, we believe solutions are possible and work towards them.

An Ecosystem for Design Innovation: Interview with Noam Platt 30:28

The story of non-profit MakeGood was forged in architect Noam Platt's desire to help people with disabilities. Whether you also have a passion for assistive technology or some other cause lights you up, you don't have to wait for a project to have an impact. Learn why he thinks architects are uniquely qualified (and called) to lead positive change in the community and how to get started. Assistive technology is an emerging field that needs the creative thinking and problem solving skills of architects and designers. Finding areas like this and lending your expertise to them can have a lasting impact on your community. When you advocate and for something that helps people, you're not worried about asking for help or support. Embarrassment or making mistakes pale in comparison to getting something accomplished. You can't unsee problems especially if you know you have the ability to help solve them. One hour of your expert time is worth more than 20 hours of a non-experts time. Start by volunteering and building your network. The experience you get volunteering is experience you won't get working at a firm. That experience can be brought back to better inform projects at your firm.

Big thinkers don't have pick me energy. They turn their visions into action by putting the work into making and executing clear plans. There's no better message than that to close out our celebration of Women's History Month. Podcaster, coach, and author Andrea Liebross shares her proven strategies to get out of stuck stress and be successful on your terms. What will be your legacy? You have thought options (try challenging your go-to ones). That's on period. Delegation is a skill to be developed. Go beyond basic detailed task and deadline outlines and learn how to truly get things off your plate. Operate in your zone of extraordinary achievement by asking: will it make a difference? are you the only one who can do it? do you need to know how to do it? do you enjoy it? Success has two ingredients- mindset and support systems. You need both. Ask what if and operate out of curiosity not fear. Confidence is the willingness to feel anything.

Luck Favors the Prepared: Career Path Hacks 21:18

It's a good thing that luck isn't based on magic. Instead, luck finds those who are ready to say yes to the opportunities they want and have the discernment to say no to what they don't. Listen to learn how to get a little more lucky yourself. Don't dismiss achievements to the luck of being in the right place at the right time, knowing the right people, or having more resources. Appreciate the work that went into setting up those circumstances. Lucky people have clarity about what they want to achieve and pursue it with courage and confidence. They put the boundaries in place they need to get support and stay focused. Taking small steps consistently pays big dividends. Success shouldn't come at the cost of quality of life - it should enhance it.

Equality and Empowerment: International Women's Day Intervew with Sarah Kleiner 28:53

28:53

Happy International Women's Day! We celebrate this year's theme by hearing from an architect and small business owner who has built her own success on the motto of showing up even when it's uncomfortable. Learn how this strategy led to building powerful networks and big opportunities. Networks are a critical way to meet and be mentored by people who share your perspective and have perhaps overcome some of your current challenges. Nothing is ever wasted- take inventory of the skills, experience and clarity about your preferences you gained even doing work you didn't love. Then. put those skills to use in work you do love. Stop accepting the premise of all or nothing in your career. You can make other choices if you ask for a different way of working that supports your well being. Women often won't show up in environments that are hostile to them, but you can't change anything if you don't get involved. You don't have to prove yourself by being everything to everybody. When we open doors for one another, we have the ability to distribute tasks and support one another.

Women in Construction: The challenge of being heard 18:47

5 weeks之前18:47

18:47

According to a recent Jobsite survey respect is the number one issue named by women in the construction industry with most explaining that lack of respect shows up as not being heard. If you are in or adjacent to the AEC industry, and you are a woman, you can probably relate. Let's stop being available for this tired trope. When disrespect becomes a pattern, you can start to assume negative intentions and carry a lot of anger and resentment around. Feeling unheard either leads you to withdraw or be more aggressive. That aggressiveness then gets labeled as being too emotional, drowning out the substance of what you are saying in a tired narrative. Engage your audience by asking questions and providing information cliffhangers. Invite others to share their thoughts about what you said so that they process it in the moment. Accept that as a leader, you need to be clear and take those that resonate along with you. Leave behind those that don't.

Industry Disruptors Making the Status Quo a Very Scary Place 26:35

Hi there, it's your friendly neighborhood disruptor with a message for you about playing it safe. The earthquake in the AEC industry has already shaken the foundations of the first cost container and the best way to be more competitive is to rewrite the rules of the game. Learn more in this episode. It's easy to abandon your ideals and catastrophize when things get difficult, but you really need to double down on innovation. Trying to play it safe is demoralizing, exhausting and muddles your message. While you might think that the status quo is a safe place to be, industry disruptors are making it the most dangerous thing to do. Disruptors address pain points and bring an organizational perspective, not just a project perspective. This means applying design to our clients business and budget in a way we don't typically think about. We need to express the dividend of a design investment utilizing new technologies to model, prototype and simulate the value of design choices.

Your Style as Career Advancement Tool: Interview with Ellie Steinbrink 36:53

Stop having a transactional relationship with your clothes. Your fit conveys not just who you are, but how you feel. Style expert Ellie Steinbrink shares her insights on cultivating your personal brand via your style. Not sure how to shop for something new? Think about how the person you are becoming would show up. Style isn't about imitating others or conforming to a dress code, it's about authentically expressing who you are. Be intentional about what you choose to wear. Brain science shows that your choice of outfit can impact your confidence level, productivity and mood. Clothing should be an investment- having more of the right pieces vs a closet full of things that you rarely wear.

Why I'm Chasing the Nobel Peace Prize 16:40

9 weeks之前16:40

The people who achieve the things that you're afraid to say you want? They're no better than you - they're just taking actions you're not. In this episode, I explore why the most audacious of goals are the only ones that should be your guideposts. I always sign off by saying "stay inspired." Inspiration is what keeps you focused, even when you encounter setbacks. It's how you focus on what you learn by overcoming an obstacle instead of seeing the obstacle as a signal you're on the wrong path. Being the person who (fill in the blank with your biggest dream) aligns you with your next right action. When you feel lost or discouraged, just ask yourself what the person who... would do. While external validation isn't the point, sometimes, looking at an established milestone or award allows you to work backward from there to where you are now.

The When Then Conundrum 18:26

18:26

Are you making progress towards your career goals, or excuses? Most of us have really great intentions...but all the little things in life, all the obligations, all the things we have to do first get in the way. Newsflash: success is about momentum, not prerequisites. While you can't magically go from 0 to 60 and achieve a big goal in one fell swoop, there are always aligned actions you can take today. These stepping stones keep you moving down the path. All those prerequisites (which have their own subsets of prerequisites) are obstacles that halt your momentum and keep you standing still. Find a role model and ask them about their moments of truth and how they pushed past doubts and made time to achieve their success. Make it non-negotiable that you make progress. Prioritize just 2 hours a day and you will stay motivated and start seeing results. Aspire to be "the person who" makes a difference. Write a letter to yourself 1 year from now listing what you did this year to get there. Include deadlines and milestones.

In this episode, you get to hear the Day 7 content from my 12 day Leadership Challenge. I tackle issues that aren't typically discussed (but should be) when it comes to leading. Listen in to hear about a common trap: proving your worth. Proving yourself leads you to want to manipulate situations for your personal benefit. It sets you up to be a scorekeeper not a leader. Proving yourself undermines your confidence and creates a dynamic that sets others up to constantly evaluate you also. Shift to working for a cause not applause.

Connection is an essential concept for 2025. Learn why my word of the year is unlocking ways I (and you) can relax into being supported by an ecosytem instead of going it alone. Connection increases engagement. When you feel connected, you also feel valued, are more productive, excited and satisfied Connection leads to more and better quality collaboration.

What have you put in the too hard basket? You know, the one where things you really want to do but... go to die. In this episode, we explore why that happens and what you can do to stop avoiding and start acting. Are you overwhelmed by too many options? This can make you less satisfied and committed to a decision even if you do make one. Stop making choice so precious and just try things on. You'll get more clarity about your preferences as you go forward. Are you stuck in a perfectionism to procrastination loop? Know that done is always better than perfect. You get to course correct, but you have to be on a course first. Are you feeling like it's not for you just because you're struggling? The struggle is the growth- the more you challenge yourself, the better you will get at rising to a challenge. You need to be willing to do the work before you get to the ease.
