You know you have the talent, the ideas, and the drive. In a competitive industry, being great at design isn’t enough on its own though. The architects who shape the industry—those who lead game-changing projects, win widespread recognition, and ultimately become indispensable—do things a little differently.
Join us in this interactive three hour workshop, where you’ll learn a simple three-step process that you can start implementing immediately to increase your influence, attract the right opportunities, and become the architect your firm and clients cannot do without.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to:
- establish yourself as the go-to architect in the industry
- increase your value to the firm without working endless overtime
- position yourself for leadership and unlock career-defining opportunities
- stand out, earn trust and gain influence - without having to shout the loudest
Who should attend?
This workshop is tailored for:
- new graduates wanting to fast-track their progress in the industry
- mid-level architects seeking more influence and career acceleration
- aspiring leaders preparing to take on bigger roles and responsibilities
