What if we wrote our stories based on limiting beliefs about what's possible?  And...what if those stories could be rewritten, Far from some woo woo idea, limiting beliefs come straight from neurosceince- we'll talk about why your toddler brain, incapable of critical thinking simply absorbed as truth the things that were said done or modeled for you. I will take you through some common limiting beliefs held by architects and teach you how to flip the script Finally, we'll talk about how to use this knowledge to discover when others (including clients) are operating from their own limiting beliefs and how to help them move past them.

What do you do when it feels like life is coming at you like a lightning bolt? Run for cover, duck?  Not at Architecting.  Here we face that bolt head on and redirect it to further our purpose and use all that energy to make the difference we came here to make already. This episode was a good one because I literally feel the energy run through me most weeks and I really wanted to share a few biggie insights: Receiving is restorative.  When you say yes to that fast moving high powered opportunity instead of overthinking it or shrinking away, you become energized. No one ever felt overwhelmed living their purpose. Ambivalence is career enemy #1.  Get out of I want it/I don;t want it energy and free yourself up to say yes to the things that change the game for you. Go big or go home,  You can't be successful just doing what's expected.  Feel into those big bold moves and where they can take you. Get out of victimhood and learn to see how you can forge a new path instead of following one littered with the landmine of someone else's "shoulds."

Ever wanted to feel like you own it as an architect?  True leadership is more than acquiring expertise, it’s having a point of view around that knowledge that you advocate around. Newsflash: you cannot ever get there unless you are so deeply connected with your why that you bring it.  Every day. On every project, In every way you live your life.  You have to be committed, which means you are also authentic.  I think we all can smell the bullshit of someone playing at thought leadership.  If you're looking to take things beyond the next paycheck and really start evolving as an architect, you need to hear this episode.   We'll cover: Get super clear on the difference between competency, interests and thought leadership Learn how following your interests can begin to surface a “passion convergence” that will blaze your trail to changemaking in a way only you can No matter where you are in your career timeline, you can tap into the OG vibe. Pull back, see the bigger picture find the thing you do, and own it. Advocacy doesn’t mean being a scrapper.  Know yourself and preach your message.  You make a difference when people willingly follow you because it resonates with them, not when you go for aggressive conversion tactics Stay Inspired, Angela     Join the architecting community: Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn   Learn more and connect architectingpodcast.com   Interested in sponsoring a show or having me as a guest on your podcast or community?

Architecture is the career you make it. Join me and my guest Dee Nicholas for a fearless exploration of the DIY career path. We talk about how to live your purpose no matter what, why it’s important to keep evolving and asking “what’s next,” Dee’s multi- and trans-disciplinary work and above all how architecture is about so much more than just building things. We'll cover: Why you should always ask what’s next. Always Believe that you can take the next opportunity in front of you and go for it no matter what. Don’t judge your own qualifications and if you see a path open up, look for ways to solidify your credentials doing that thing.  That’s what a thought leader does. Do not define what you do by anyone else’s standard. Who says you can’t be an architect/artist/researcher/social justice crusader/polymath whatever?  Because I guarantee you, you already are wearing multiple hats.
