October 14, 2022Flex Your Superpower and Quit Tolerating the Beige Life
Have you found yourself tolerating a world that asks you to dumb down your dreams and dim your light? Not no more my friend. Listen in to learn more about showcasing your superpower instead of being shamed by it.
When we tolerate situations and experiences that don't bring us joy, we end up forgetting ourselves just to fit in.
Never let the busyness eclipse what's meaningful to you. Make your preferences your priority.
Ask yourself what you really want. Then start doing it.
Break your addiction to overwhelm and re-prioritize connecting to calm and joy.
Greatness isn't about meeting expectations- it's about defying them.
Release your attachment to being judged. Be in the moment doing what you love and the rest will happen for you.
Love the parts of yourself that get made wrong. They are your strength.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

October 11, 2022Opportunity Beads:Collecting Moments of Career Impact
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.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

October 06, 2022Uplift Thinking (an Inclusive Leadership Model): Interview with Jing Johnson
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.

October 03, 2022Causing Effect: Being a Catalyst for Change
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.

September 27, 2022Crazy ’till it Happens: Overcoming Your Dream Doubters
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.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

September 23, 2022Architecture is Advocacy: Don’t Mute Your Mike
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.

Angela

September 19, 2022Leadership Looks Like This
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.

Angela

September 08, 2022The Art of Doing Less Better
The good enough life isn't really good enough. If you're feeling stuck on that plateau because you just can't find the capacity to do even more, listen in to learn how to be an advocate for better without being exhausted.
Feed your creativity by placing yourself in situations that are inspiring, playful, luxurious and beautiful.
Your expertise is your invitation to do less better instead of working harder.
When you succumb to stress and fear, you lose sight of your value.
No one wants to succeed if it means adding more stress and work to your life. If you believe that's your path to success, you won't be motivated to ever get there.

Angela
