ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design episodes

February 24, 2022How to Stop Your Career From Fading to Beige
The stress and trauma of everyday life can be a lot to deal with. Listen in for tips on reawakening and revitalizing your life and career. Lets start celebrating everyday wins and get excited about what's possible.
Stress is a reaction to outside stimuli- it is not caused by them
Chronic stress physically makes us sick- it also develops a trauma response in our brain. This strengthens neural pathways around fear, allowing them to become dominant, like an overgrown hedge. At the same time, healthier neural pathways atrophy.
Being in a state of trauma causes us to numb out- not just to negative emotions, but positive ones as well.
Celebrate the wins to anchor in positive emotions. Rebuilding and strengthening these thought habits lets us believe in what's possible instead of seeing limitations.
Be a screen, not a wall so that your energy isn't wasted on resisting what you cannot control.
Stay Inspired,
Angela

February 21, 2022Stand Up to Lift Up
Are you on lots of bandwagons, but never driving? In this episode, we explore why we fear standing out. Being an advocate doesn't mean you are held to a standard of perfection, it means you care about showing others a better way forward.
The reason to take a stand is not to have zero tolerance for failure, it's to aspire to and inspire better outcomes.
Self-righteousness is not advocacy, it's a form of judgement.
Predictability is the opposite of creativity. Stop playing it safe by blending into the collective consciousness.
Every time you play small and aim to stay within expectations, you cheat the world out of your potential and the innovation it could bring.

February 17, 2022Great Resignation to Great Retention: The Secret to Engaged and High Performing Staff
Let me guess: you're hiring. You're probably also willing to do just about anything to keep the staff you have. In this ask me anything episode, I respond to an audience question about what it takes to keep staff engaged and motivated, while also keeping a high performance bar.
Provide a nurturing work environment that emphasizes flexibility, staff visibility and opportunities to grow.
It's about the work you do, not just the work environment. Emphasize meaningful work that aligns with each person's personal development goals.
Focus not just on diversity and inclusion, but on equitable decision making.
Equity extends to fair assessment of performance. It's not fair to the other staff to gloss over poor work habits or skill gaps. Build in ways to measure growth and learn from failures.
Appreciate the small wins and achievements and help your staff see the connection back to their personal goals.

February 14, 2022Love Your Life, Love Your Work
Let's talk about love; how it's about releasing judgement about others- and yourself. In particular, let's talk about how lack of love interprets confidence as arrogance, assertiveness as aggression and makes self-care selfish. It's time to abandon the negative beliefs that keep us focused on limitation, lack, doubt and fear and step into the expansiveness that's possible in our life and career.
Always be clear on your motivations. Standing behind your expertise and a well researched solution is being confident in your ability to make a difference. Looking for the "ta-da" moment is arrogance.
Assertiveness is a form of advocacy. Staying quiet or passively taking instruction doesn't lead to an honest conversation or aid the co-creation process.
Self-care and maintaining clear boundaries is the opposite of selfish. Doing things for approval and acceptance comes from childish thinking. Adults stand in their power and claim the resources they need to be their best selves, knowing that from that place, they can have the greatest positive impact on others.
Love yourself by taking responsibility for yourself and love others by releasing the need to be responsible for them.

February 10, 2022Leadership Essentials: Interview with Sarah Francescutti
Leadership is about way more than your job description. In today's episode, Executive Leadership Coach Sarah Francescutti gives you the low down on acting up (for the role you want).
No more back room behavior like having a bad attitude, gossiping or complaining.
Reverse engineer your career path. Be proactive in seeking the training or skills you need and invest in yourself.
Expand your capacity to receive opportunities. You need to build up experiences and wisdom to lead with empathy and effectiveness.
Technical expertise is no substitute for people skills.
Leadership can be lopsided. Because no one is good at everything, focus on building up your strengths and working with others who have skills to offset your weaknesses.
Authenticity trumps all. People respond to the real you not a polished "shell" person with whom they cannot relate.

February 07, 2022Career Leapfrog: Building on the Blessings
Are you crying with a loaf of bread under your arm? When loss and disappointment take over your psyche, reframe it by seeing what you do have. Listen in to learn how to see the patterns of achievement and build on them from the inside out.
Learn to savor your accomplishments, not pick them apart to find the flaws or missing pieces.
Stop future tripping and only seeing what you haven't yet achieved.
See the blessing in failure and not getting what you think you want
When you focus on lack, you get more of it- catch and redirect it before it creates a cascade of effects in your system.
Look for the patterns that led you to where you are- they are the breadcrumbs that will lead you to your most successful becoming.

February 03, 2022The Experimental Career: Interview with Sana Tabassum
Hey you toiling away and not enjoying a minute of it- there's a better way. To:Scale founder and nextgen architecture student Sana Tabassum shares a new perspective on finding the career(s) you love.
Try everything so you know what you like
Be proactive about developing skills. Give yourself safe space to cultivate them in your off time.
Interview a prospective employer as much as they are interviewing you. Work where they'll let you find yourself and reach your highest potential.
Find role models doing things that interest you, even if they seem unconventional. Network with them and let them show you what's possible
Be willing to share your process. It's almost as important as the finished product (and a whole lot more interesting if you want to learn something).

January 31, 2022You’re Not for Everyone (and That’s a Good Thing)
Here's stress relief tip: take a break from people pleasing (or actively resisting it). It's time to start being unapologetic about who you are, what you stand for and invte others to join you- or not.
You can choose to be either in compliance, defiance, or acceptance.
Stop accepting the premise that you need to make others happy. Focus on being aligned and taking actions in integrity instead.
Drop the story about needing approval, or else. When you stand in your power as your authentic self- you shift from saying "look at me," to "come with me."

Angela

January 27, 2022There is No They: Lessons from the Unlikable
Let's stop a bit to look at the "understood they." The dehumanization and villainization that comes from othering. Creating this separation lets us play the victim and make the success we see in others wrong all while limiting our own.
Like the grammatical understood you, understood they is an imperative. It creates separation between ourselves and others. We don't name our subject, just blame them.
Separation allows us to create a dichotomy- by making others wrong, we make ourselves a victim and give up our power.
Being a victim is a permission slip for inaction.
What if you could shift language from "me and them" to "we and us?"
When we are one, there can be no competition or jealousy. Instead, we can be in gratitude to those who are drawing our attention. We can thank them for leaving breadcrumbs of their path to success and even appreciate their mistakes for illuminating the pitfalls for us.

January 25, 2022Stop Letting Stress Sabotage You
Stress is toxic. Our bodies evolved to react to perceived threats by giving us the physical stamina to escape. In today's world of chronic stress, that response is shutting down our access to the creative abilities and logical thinking we most need. And it's making us sick.
Take an energy inventory. Are you spending your time in the right places?
How can you turn your traumas and vulnerabilities into a superpower instead of a source of stress?
When you catch yourself in a stress response, use calming techniques to activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
