- Like a Mother: How work is being revolutionized
Where are all the women in our profession? So many fade away due to lack of support and family responsibilities- but not the women in the Mothers in Architecture group. Meet the three founders who took a stand to keep moms in architecture and started a movement where women model for one another how to have a career on your own terms.
- Women's careers face unique challenges. By being part of a support group, you have a safe space to be vulnerable and reconcile being a professional with being a mother.
- Raise the bar on what expectations should be instead of trying to cope with the status quo. You deserve to be supported in the career you want to have.
- Mothers are often workplace trailblazers. The issues they fought for around flex time and working from home have now become workplace standards that benefit everyone, so never feel like because something isn't the norm today that it's not worth fighting for.
- We all need to stop romanticizing overwork. Learn to set boundaries and surround yourself with people who keep you grounded in why you need to maintain them (your well-being).
- Careers can follow many different paths. Your goals should align with what you want- not someone else's structure.

28 min - The Power of Praise
Be the one who takes your team from good to great by harnessing the power of praise to help recognize and amplify the skill sets of coworkers and clients.
- Praise is not flattery. Be authentic and mention specific things that someone did well and how those things impacted the outcome.
- When you call attention to an accomplishment, you raise awareness of the skills involved in that person's mind, which helps them focus more on developing those skills. This happens through a brain mechanism called the Reticular Activator which focuses attention.
- Praise raises the energy and joy of team, which then pumps up creativity and adds ease to the work being done to the point that it doesn't feel like work anymore.
- Take the praise challenge. Pick three people to praise over the next two days and share the impact it had on instagram. Tag me @architectingpodcast and I'll share with the rest of our community.

14 min - Reclaiming White Space on Your Calendar
Whew! Another workday so filled with meetings, there was no time left for ...work? And what about how exhausting it is to have to be "on" all day? Listen in to learn how to just say no to energy sapping time sucks.
- Unhook yourself from obligation energy and the accompanying guilt and shame. Look at your own story that's making you feel you can;t say no as well as how you are tapping into other people's stories about what you "should" be doing.
- Be clear about what you need out of your day and claim it on your calendar. Block focused time based on your most productive period of the day, schedule time for tasks instead of making lists, prioritize breaks and time for a nourishing lunch by adding them on the calendar.
- Train people on what to expect. If it's clear you are not available for back to back meetings or meetings scheduled without asking you first, then they will learn to respect your time more.

22 min - Essentials of Psychological Safety
Understanding psychological safety is your new stealth tool to effective team work and having a high performance design career.
- The foundation of being able to work effectively (and innovatively) is to first build trust. Trust comes when everyone feels supported doing meaningful work, comfortable sharing their ideas, can fail without feeling like a failure and feels included.
- We all bring our own story and meanings to the way we interpret the world. It's important to become more conscious of our own and others' tendency to do this so that we can communicate more effectively
- Practice active listening, instead of just waiting to make your own points.
- Teamwork is about letting go of individual inputs and outputs in favor of focusing collectively on the outcomes. This means balancing the expansiveness of the beginner's mind with the reductive power of expertise.
- Always make others feel appreciated and included by specifically noticing how their contributions helped the team succeed.

28 min - This is Your Starting Line
Feeling overwhelmed or like you'll never get ahead? Been so caught up in the daily grind that you can't see past the job horizon? I'm here to tell you that it's never too late. This is your starting line and you absolutely will end up a winner. Listen in to learn how to get past all the limitations telling you why you can;t and start knowing that you can!
- Nothing is ever wasted. No matter how old you are, how late to the game, or how many times you've failed, you are here for a purpose and you will find it as long as you keep trying.
- Instead ruminating about past shame or regret or running endless if/then future scenarios, be in the present. Try breathing and sighing out the exhale to center yourself then focus on the emotional trigger behind the reason you feel blocked. Once identified, you can actively work through id to see what your heart is really trying to show you about your career and purpose.
- Ask what's the worst that could happen, and journal about that. Feel a sense of mastery over all the reasons you think you can't writing them down makes them feel manageable.
- Take full responsibility for yourself and living your purpose. When you encounter obstacles, instead of letting them play into your worries about why you can't, start asking how you can.

24 min - Community Building
Do you care about issues in the built environment like social justice, sustainability, well, being, citizen agency? It's time to take that compassion and put it to work for you. Listen in to hear how to get involved, get noticed and have an impact regardless of your current experience level or credentials.
- Find something you care about then find the organizations championing that cause. You'll have a ready-made platform and a community of people to learn from so you can hone your skills while you build your network.
- Raise your hand, Doers get noticed and wallflowers get bypassed. Don't worry about whether you're qualified- just by taking action you are making a difference.
- Diversify your community- knowing people from all walks of life will help you see the issues you care about from many different angles so you have a better perspective about making change. That same diverse community will also make it easier for you to get buy in and participation because you have built trust.
- Everything matters. No matter how small the effort or how meaningless what you are doing feels, you can use your knowledge to make a difference.

21 min - Agents of Change
Change is transformation, provocation and a willingness to lead people beyond what they thought was possible. And you were born to lead it as an Agent of Change. You just need a few tips, so listen in!
- You were not put here to sit quietly in the corner smiling and nodding. Those who love and mentor you have removed obstacles so you can get farther faster.
- When you try and make everybody happy and appeal to everyone, you stand for nothing. Leaders know their mission is what matters and don't allow their egos to prevent them from doing or saying what's necessary.
- Agents of change are generous. They want to see others success be cause they understand that each person's triumph makes us all better. They believe in abundance and freely share what they know.
- It's not audacious or an overreach to believe in transformation. In fact, it's exactly what the world so desperately needs. Be a wayshower and a holder of the vision and help give others the courage to believe in transformation as well.

14 min - Design Ecosystems not Egosystems
Space feels like something. It's a collection of form, materials, colors, light and sound that impact humans physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Are you ready to elevate that experience by making conscious design choices to help people be their best selves?
- Instead of judging what people need and imposing your ideas, be a space shaman. Take the time to diagnose and develop a "treatment" plan with your clients.
- The Great Resignation is signalling an appetite for something better. For the first time, people are less afraid of change than they are of things staying the same. They are valuing happiness and quality of life, two things great design supports.
- You can't be an advocate for change if you aren't confident. Take the time to do the inner work and get clarity on what your design why is. That confidence will translate to your ability to successfully take your clients where they really want to go.

20 min - The CULTure of Design
Let's do some mythbusting about the practice of architecture. There's so much indoctrination into a broken way of doing things that undermines our confidence while undervaluing our work and weakening our impact. It's time to stop drinking the Kool Aid and start having the career you want instead of the one you thought you had to accept.
- Architecture is a diverse profession with a huge range of options both inside and outside of traditional practice. You get to choose which you pursue and customize your career based on you interests- but first you get to try a few on and decide what fits you best.
- In a cult, you follow the leader and don't have free will. Your time has no value because the contribution you make as an individual is only in contribution to the vision of the master (read firm leader). It's way past time to question that premise and reject it.
- Claim the practice you want and show up for it at every scale of project. How you do anything is how you do everything and your viewpoint can give even the smallest projects a powerful story to tell.
- Recognize that practice means being a part of a community. Have a support system in place to keep you accountable to your goals and away from that kool aid.

23 min - Provide Your Clients With a Bigger Container
Design aligns...big visions, better experience, environmental friendliness. So why do we have so many mediocre buildings? Let's start giving our clients a bigger container and grow projects to their fullest potential.
- Transformational projects begin with leading your client somewhere. Leadership isn't being a trainer, it's going somewhere and taking others with you.
- The world's resources can't tolerate the waste of another mediocre project. Facilitate big dreams and creative solutions over the go-to things within everyone's comfort zone.
- Understand how the space needs might change over time and work to make sure the innovations don't feel like extras, but instead are features everyone will fight to preserve.
- Trying to please everyone means you stand for nothing. Clients need your leadership to help them feel comfortable expressing the magnitude of their vision. Be someone who holds space for the possible and shows how it can happen instead of why it can't.
