  • Why You Need a Sponsor to Get Ahead

    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.

    1. 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? Contact me at [email protected] to schedule a free consult on whether one on one coaching is right for you. I have just two spots left- make one of them yours.

  • You Are More Resilient Than You Think

    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.

    1. 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? Contact me at [email protected] to schedule a free consult on whether one on one coaching is right for you.
  • Check out Podcast Magazine's May edition and Architecting's #20 ranking in the top mom podcast category.

  • Shift from Who You Should Be to Who You Can Be

    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.

    1. 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.
  • Contact me at  [email protected] to schedule an inquiry session to find out if one on one coaching with me is right for you. Coaching is personalized to meet your needs and accelerates your career and personal growth.

  • How to Be Confident Without Seeming Arrogant

    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.

    1. 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.

  • Write Your Own Job Description: Interview with Christina Vernon Sanborn

    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.

    1. 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.
  • Contact Christina [email protected] or find her on LinkedIn

  • From Sustainability Passion to Impactful Career: Interview with Stacy Smedley

    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.

    1. 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.
  • Contact Stacy [email protected] or find her on LinkedIn

  • Architect as Salesperson? Skills to navigate tough situations

    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.

    1. 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.

  • Your Self Definition Needs a Rewrite

    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.

    1. 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.
