Life is what happens when you're busy making plans. But those seeming redirects might just be what puts you on the trail you were really meant to blaze. In this episode, I share two inspiring stories of multi-directional careers that had singular impact. Everything is possible as long as you believe it is. Be guided by your purpose and say "yes" to opportunities even when they seem unrelated to what you are doing. Nothing is ever wasted. Every experience provides knowledge and perspective you will use. Don't put the blinders of expectations on your career. A linear path might feel safe, but it's the unknown that takes you somewhere great.

Are you still slogging though a practice model that doesn't work for you? My guest Jing Johnson shares how she built a successful business based on uplifting others and providing support Be receptive to your clients and how you can serve them- they notice how you make them feel We stay stuck because we worked so hard to get where we are and pay our dues that we want the payoff. Instead, a bigger payoff can come from realizing that success can come in a different way. Open yourself up to the ease and grace of going down a career path that feels good to you. Be the example of the culture you want to have. Others are watching what you do, because it matters more than what you say. Live your core values and highlight how your team is implementing them. It's easy to have trust when things are going well, but it's more important to cultivate it when they are not by being a supportive leader. Share stories to help your team prepare for difficult clients or situations. Communication empowers and transparency enlightens.

Creating change starts with inspiring people, but needs to include helping them move past doubts and fear of change. That means you need to be the catalyst- the constant that produces change without being changed. Listen in to learn how. Catalysts show others what's possible by bringing together the right mix of people and activities and activating them. Action happens naturally when there is alignment about what change needs to happen and why. People may initially buy in but eventually resist change because it moves them out of their comfort zone. Your job is to keep holding the vision for them and giving them permission to step outside the system. Go from cause and effect to causing an effect by helping people to feel confident and inspired even as they encounter doubts, fears or lack of acceptance from their peer group. Remember that everyone feels more comfortable when they return to their set point, even if it's not serving them.

Don't let the doubters bring you down. You know, the ones who say you can't do it, or that you're wrong to even try. You have dreams bigger than you for a reason. Here's how to make them a reality. Being proactive is an internal process. Become a dreamer who does by getting clarity on your purpose and taking aligned action. Being reactive is an external process, but it doesn't have to be a passive one. You have better solutions when you've been proactive first. Question the premise and be more aware of the unconscious "protocols" in our culture so you can actively change them. The bigger the dream, the  more you have to fail to make it come true. Hold your ground, be solution oriented and include like minded people.

Health, safety and welfare issues extend to wellbeing. As architects, our work impacts people spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. We have the ability to be unflinching advocates who catalyze positive change- who's in? Architecture is advocacy. Never walk away from your power to have a positive impact Get the credentials you need (license at a minimum) so that you have the authority and agency to take a stand. Help develop or evaluate codes and standards as well as local zoning or housing policies. Take it meta by looking at issues that are bigger than a particular project. Understand how decisions are made and co-create priorities with your clients, including establishing non-negotiables. Test new ideas through simulations or augmented reality to overcome fear of change. Tie project goals to ROI by using metrics your client already relies upon and showing how design decisions can improve them.

Do you know the difference between mentoring, coaching, management and leadership? While all are important, there is movement in leadership. It is focused on the collective and taking them somewhere they couldn't get on their own, not on nurturing an individual. Listen in to learn more about following and being a leader. Leadership is distinct from other individuals you might seek out in your career. Mentors provide guidance and advice. Coaches help you set goals, get skills, and hold you accountable. Managers provide directives, assign roles and set deadlines. Leaders act for the collective and hold a vision while showing the way. Following them is a choice. Leaders question the premise, they don't operate within the status quo. Leaders take you out of your comfort zone and help you see what's possible. Leaders are wayshowers and unflinching advocates. If you don't take a stand for what you believe, no one knows if they want to follow you.

Learn why we eat when we're tired, how stress triggers us and how poor gut health affects anxiety and depression. Emotional eating has root causes in traumatic experience.

Would you swipe left on your current job? What about future prospects? You get it all wrong when you only think about following the rules of a career path that someone else told you you should want. Let's try a different perspective that's more focused on the relationship you want to have. Do you want to be together? If the personality/culture of the firm isn't suited to yours, it's never going to work. What do you want to create with this company? If they aren't going in the direction you want to go, or can't commit the resources to initiatives, it's splitsville. What do you want to explore with them? How can you impact the industry together? How can you help them expand? Just like love, it's a two way street.

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.

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.

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.   Stay Inspired, Angela   Join the architecting community: Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn Clubhouse Interested in sponsoring a show or having me as a guest on your podcast or community?

Sleep resets your system, detoxifies the body and keeps hormones in balance. Eat well (Just Eat Real Food) and take the supplements you need to offset the ways you've depleted yourself. Move more. Movement sends oxygen and nutrients to your body, eliminates toxins and waste and deescalates the stress response.

Your career is not a set it and forget it thing. It's also not a recipe you follow. Architect and Educator Tim Hawk tells us why you need to constantly reinvent yourself, take on heart-led opportunities, align your passion with what people need, and embrace diversity by surrounding yourself with different perspectives. Think more broadly about your career possibilities instead of accepting what's offered and making the best of it. Reinvent yourself every five years. Embrace your personal evolution and align your career path with it. When in doubt, go with your heart. Doing what you love gives you energy and passion that you can apply to all the other stuff (which will get figured out even if you don't prioritize it). Make room for other people by getting out of the way. Let others rise into tasks you've outgrown. It's easy to get placed within a frame around colleagues who know you. Step outside of your frame by working in a different context where you are able to be more than what the people who know you see. Design for what people need and align your passion with that.

Can you actually be success intolerant? Yeppers. This can happen subconsciously. You think you want to be successful, but fear the unchartered territory of who that version of you will be.  Let me be your sherpa and help you navigate your internal and external success obstacles. We all have a success setpoint. When we start to move to the upper limits of that, we feel more and more uncomfortable and stop taking action that builds forward momentum. You can fear being successful will mean you no longer fit in with your current groups of friends/family/coworkers and not know how to seek out a new more expansive and supportive network. You can fear that success is too much work and not sustainable. Realize that success equals more resources which allow you to uplevel your energy. Far from being exhausting, success is energizing. You can fear being seen as an imposter. Far from being a fraud, sharing what you know - even if you are just one or two steps along the path- can help others get to where you are.     Get Career Crisis Get Time Builder direct with bonus Clarify and Destress Meditation Get Time Builder on Amazon   Stay Inspired, Angela   Join the architecting community: Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn Clubhouse 2:00 PM EST 3rd Sundays- Critical Conversations- A raw look at the state of our profession Twitter 9:00 AM EST Mondays- Architects as Healers: Buildings as Medicine Learn more and connect architectingpodcast.com Interested in sponsoring a show or having me as a guest on your podcast or community?

Don't you have to work really hard to be successful? Ummm... no. You do have to be clear on what you want though and take aligned action.

No way do confident people have low self-esteem, right?  Except... maybe you do. No one talks about the way this seeming paradox happens or how it holds you back in life and work. Let's shine the flashlight into that dark corner of your psyche so you can break the self sabotage cycle starting now. SIGN UP FOR STRESSLESS SUCCESS VACATION LIFE WORKSHOP Confidence is outward facing, based on observable abilities. You get feedback through achievements. You are comfortable with your skills and can adapt them to the needs of the situation, aren't afraid of failure, are willing to ask for help and empower others. Self-esteem in inward facing and tied to your feelings of worthiness. It's based on things we were taught and conclusions we drew from life experiences. These become cemented into beliefs about what we need to do to earn love or acceptance. You can use high confidence in a negative way to protect yourself from feelings of low self-esteem. This shows up as a constant quest to be of service instead of taking action aligned with what you really want or need. Learn to embrace the fact that you intrinsically have value, without needing to prove anything. Catch negative thoughts related to low self-esteem and replace them with facts around your areas of confidence.

Let's get philosophical- what does it mean to be present?  How do you collaborate and lead when not everyone is in the room while leveraging the value of face to face interaction with those that are? How do we create an equitable collaborative experience?  Why should we even bother going back to an office at all? This episode explores how we can retool old project processes for a hybrid work world. SIGN UP FOR YOUR VACATION LIFE WORKSHOP Maintaining connectivity is your new superpower.  You get there by being organized, flexible and able to develop skills in yourself and others. Polished is so 2019. Do it messy is the new way it's done. How well can you improvise and authentically communicate? Without our senses to provide cues about mood, approachability or availability to be interrupted, we have to consciously communicate boundaries to one another. The way you did it doesn't work. But why you did it still might.  Retool your processes to focus on what essential results you need, instead of making clunky virtual adaptations to the same old stuff. Welcome to the wondrous world of asynchronous collaboration. Embrace it. There's gold in there.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone feeling overwhelmed or like you have to stay where you're at even if it's feeling a bit stagnant. SIGN UP FOR YOUR VACATION LIFE WORKSHOP Your personal throughline can run through more than one career. Follow the opportunities, instead of trying to make things work on a single path. Be an unflinching advocate for what matters to you. Get involved where you can and spread the message. Network, network, network. You can access thought leadership, mentors and partners when you are connected to others doing work that matches your interests. Never worry about what other people think.  Follow your heart and be true to what matters to you.  When you live and work in integrity, your life feels energized and manageable.

Overwhelmed much? Working harder and harder to try and catch up only to feel further behind and more exhausted? This new normal is taking way too much of a toll. Listen in for my strategies to stop overwhelm in its tracks. SIGN UP FOR YOUR VACATION LIFE WORKSHOP Pressure to perform without feeling you have any ability to change the circumstances is root cause of your overwhelm. Reexamine your own beliefs about what you have to commit to doing and how much effort you need to apply.  Getting it done doesn't make you a hero (even though you  may become addicted to that rush of adrenaline). Stop to think about why this is important to you, instead of feeling obligated to meet expectations. When you reframe the story, you can stop catastrophizing in the moment. Say no to things you don't absolutely need or want to do. Exercise boundaries around your commitments to avoid overperforming. Delegate what you can. Reassign as many tasks as possible. Zoom out and identify the critical outcome needed. Throw any extra work overboard.

Feeling resigned that your life and work are as good as they can get? I'm here to sound the alarm! The cost of that "good enough" life is one you can't afford. This episode will help you see the extravagant waste of resources (time, energy, money) living a status quo life really is. SIGN UP FOR YOUR VACATION LIFE WORKSHOP Your dream life is possible if you are willing to commit to a continuous improvement process. Raise your consciousness to what's possible instead of letting fears and limitations run the show. When you create a strong center point of feeling great about your life, you attract high energy people and experiences into it. Staying stuck comes with way too high a price. Being in the present instead of limiting yourself by the past or worrying about the future. You write the story of your life based on how you feel in every moment.

Everything you do sends a message. A message about your commitment to making an impact, ability to be agile, willingness to do more than what's in your job description. So while you're hiding behind your busyness, the unintended message you send to those around you is that being a leader isn't a priority for you. Stop using your workload as an excuse to defer your personal development. Someday is not a date on the calendar- it's a can you keep kicking down the road. Don't worry about how you'll get it all done. When you take on growth and development opportunities, you build your skill set so it's actually easier to get your other work done. Next time you're about to bow out of an opportunity, substitute the reason for saying no for the words "that's not my priority." Feel into that and if it's true, then say no. But f it's not, find a way to make it happen. Stop calibrating your career to minimum standards of performance. Instead, go for what's best practice. Ask yourself if someone who has a career you'd love to have would take on a growth opportunity like what you're being served up. Never take opportunities for granted. If you commit, show up and be engaged. Want to learn more about how to position yourself to be sponsored?

Feeling stalled out, passed over, invisible even? One of the root causes of the Great Resignation is not having an opportunity to do fulfilling work that grows your career. The antidote: something called sponsorship. Let's explore this strategy to grow leaders while encouraging diversity and inclusion at the top levels of organizations. While mentorship is focused on growing specific skill sets, sponsorship is about strategic leadership development. Sponsors are in leadership positions and willing to work with proteges to help close the gaps in their leadership abilities. That way, they are qualified for promotions. Sponsors are willing to expend their political capital in the workplace to advocate for the advancement of their protege. This strategy is mutually beneficial because it helps leadership to move beyond a "looks like me" bias. Want to learn more about how to position yourself to be sponsored?

We all have to protect our limited bandwidth these days. But are you giving your time away to things that don't accelerate your growth while saying no to the big stuff? In this episode, you'll learn how to tap into your resilience to live your best life. You got a big win. Don't let that be your excuse to shut down even more opportunity. Seeing where you are as "enough" shuts down your potential. Always say yes to aligned opportunities. Don't worry about how you will make it happen, the hows will work themselves out once you say yes. Resiliency is really about having the resources to cope. To feed your resiliency, add more resources. Resources include time for rest and regenerative activities. Appreciate the value of doing nothing. That pause is often the biggest something you could do. Want to 10X your growth?

Is your identity caught up in proving your worth? Have you gotten so good at meeting everyone else's needs that you've lost sight of what really would make you happy and fulfilled in life and work? This episode is for you! Let's find out what can happen once you're free of expectations and obligations. Our identity is tied to what we believe is possible. This can come either from direct teaching or inferences made from life experiences. Either way, deeply rooted beliefs are formed. External validation make us feel safe. This is why it's so important to seek approval and achieve. Protector personas kick in to reinforce our beliefs in what is safe. These can lead to us sabotaging our success. To break through and find your potential, you need to get centered. Try the breathing, journaling, and questioning exercises in this episode for quick relief.

Confidence isn't something you earn, it's something you are, It's taking action, taking risks and knowing that failure is learning. Let's discuss how to start pursuing your passions because you have sovereignty and how to let go of the need for external validation that's holding you back. Confident people do what they feel called to do. Even when it's messy, even without all the tools and resources. Trust that you know what you know and you will learn what you need to learn. Face your fears and do it anyway. Be confident now. Start noticing all the situations that you handle with assurance, even when things get challenging. Appreciate even the smallest ways that you are confident and start noticing how you feel in your body in those moments. You can adopt those same physical traits in moments when you are less confident to cue yourself towards confidence. Arrogance is a bullying persona adopted by people who don;t feel confident to shut down opposition by making others wrong. Confidence is curious, asks for help and fails forward.    Get Time Builder direct with bonus Clarify and Destress Meditation Get Time Builder on Amazon   Stay Inspired, Angela   Join the architecting community: Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn Clubhouse 2:00 PM EST 3rd Sundays- Critical Conversations- A raw look at the state of our profession Twitter 9:00 AM EST Mondays- Architects as Healers: Buildings as Medicine Learn more and connect architectingpodcast.com   Interested in sponsoring a show or having me as a guest on your podcast or community?

We all dream of having a career we're passionate about. But so many people put themselves into a track and passively wait for opportunities to come. This episode explores the intrepid career path of someone who took a stand for making a difference and never stopped evolving. Advocate for what you believe in. Even if it's not initially well received, keep going- you never know when your message will land with the right person. View every "no" as a "not yet" and keep pursuing the way to get what you want accomplished. There is a ripple effect that occurs when you inspire others to take action that will amplify your own work. Everything is an equity issue- link what you are doing back to those who will be served by it. No matter how much you achieve in your career, keep evolving. Never stop moving towards new opportunities. Tell your story quantitatively. Facts are not subjective and help surface where there's work to be done. No matter how great your message, if you don't connect with the people you want to help, it's like yelling into the wind.

Sustainability is an imperative, not a nice to have. My Earth Day 2022 guest Stacy Smedley shares how she turned her passion for a better world into an advocacy based career and became a leading voice of the industry. Have an impact first attitude. It's about what you can do, not the channel you use to get there. Do more than get credentials. Ask for the opportunities you want and see how the work you are doing today contributes to those opportunities. Look for ways to learn by getting involved in the greater community of professionals. This will create a network to elevate your impact. Your network isn't a hub and spoke hierarchy. It's an ecosystem of interconnected resources and abilities. Sustainable measures should be based on the project goals, not an evaluation system. The system you choose will then help you stretch what you consider for the project. Stop thinking about sustainability from where you sit. Think in the context of the industry, the community and globally. Know what terms like embodied carbon mean and make sure everyone on your team is speaking the same language. This year's Earth Day theme Invest in Our Planet can challenge us to think not just of how we can incentivize sustainability but the cost of not taking action. Sustainability, resilience and equity are interconnected and as you achieve impact in one area, you begin to also impact the others, so think about how they can work together on your projects. Don't be afraid of the 3/4 baked idea. Share thoughts in development and work in progress within your network to improve and amplify them.

Did you know you were in sales? Not just to win new work, but to navigate your day. Everything from client meetings to internal hard talks is about selling your ideas and showing how you can help others solve their most painful problems. Success is about sales- convincing the other person that you can help them. Welcome and expect dissent. Be curious about why someone has the concerns they do. Disagreement is not rejection. It's doubt. Ferret out someone's real concerns and the big problems keeping them up at night and you will be able to win them over by addressing them "Because I said so," is not a reason for anyone to listen to you. It didn't work when your mother did it, and it won't work with clients or colleagues. Give reasons behind your logic and ask for feedback. Avoid polarizing the issues. You are not "right." The other person is not "wrong." You are here to solve their problem.

What labels have you slapped on yourself because you think you should show up a certain way? In this episode, we explore ways you've limited your potential with these definitions. It's time for a rewrite- one that aligns with who you are not who you think you are supposed to be. Think about how you see yourself. Does this match with how others see you? Does it resonate with your core self? If you are living with labels applied to yourself, you are restricting your potential. Instead, you burden yourself with all of the expectations and obligations that come with the label. When you allow yourself to be defined according to someone else's idea of what you "should" or "must" do, you get drawn into codependency. This makes you responsible for other people' outcomes, at the expense of what you really need or want to thrive. Get out of the box you were told you had to navigate within by rediscovering the essential you. People read the labels you place on yourself- rewrite the self definition and you show up differently in the world.
