Today, we hop over the Atlantic to the small coastal town of Portsmouth England to speak with Charlotte Kingsbury.

Charlotte is the head of US Operations for the London-based firm Urban and she leads Urban's #bemoreinclusive movement aiming to the change demographics of architects, designers and firm leaders.

If you feel that you’ve been overlooked or underrepresented through your career, or, If you are hoping to build a more a inclusive-minded hiring practice, you'll love Charlotte's advice.

At the end she shares a bit of her life story and there’s a good reminder in there about whether you’ve got "it", where "it" comes from, and whether "it" will get you through… and "it" will all be explained towards the end of the conversation.
