How have I sabotaged myself in the past, and what can I learn from those experiences? The fifth step in the Eight Steps of Appraisal Preparation is to Get Out of My Own Way. The biggest barrier in our way is most likely ourselves. We get stuck when we listen to our inner critic, encounter self-limiting beliefs, and make assumptions about ourselves and others. Examples of self-sabotaging critics include: 🌟 Other people are better at this than me. 🌟 Success doesn’t happen to people like me. The Appraisal Preparation Workbook helps you to reflect, identify areas that need improvement, and plan your appraisal.

Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Brené Brown In architecture, engineering, and construction, striving for perfection can hinder innovation and creativity, leading to undue stress and missed opportunities for growth. Embracing imperfection allows professionals to take risks, learn from failures, and foster a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement, driving excellence in project delivery and personal development. Break free from the grip of perfectionism and embrace the power of imperfection for growth.

The sixth step in the Eight Steps of Appraisal Preparation is to Follow Up on your meeting. There may be questions that you might not get an answer to straight away - your line-manager might not have the final say in the matter. So it's a good idea to schedule a follow-up call or meeting in a few weeks. Remember not to give up too easily. Achieving your goals is a process that requires consistent effort and not just a single conversation! The Appraisal Preparation workbook will help you identify what you need to work on to have a successful appraisal meeting.

Is professional isolation holding back innovation in architecture? Architects aren't alone in isolating themselves from external voices. And this insular approach can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities. By introducing new ways of seeing and thinking, architects can: → Extend our professional networks → Create goodwill → Open up unexpected opportunities → Gain valuable insights into our strengths and weaknesses How can we encourage more cross-pollination of ideas between architecture and other fields? #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

Start before you're ready. Don't prepare, begin. Mel Robbins Taking action is key to progress and innovation.

Are architects trapped in an echo chamber? The architecture profession seems content talking to itself. Conferences, symposiums, and talks often feature architects speaking only to other architects. But what insights are we missing by excluding outside voices? How might fresh perspectives challenge and evolve our thinking? It's time for architects to break out of their bubble and actively seek diverse viewpoints. What field or profession do you think architects could learn the most from? #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

Many architecture practices are hurting right now. There’s uncertainty in the economy, flowing into the building industry, and costs just keep going up. Imagine if you already had the solution? You do. It's you and your team. The way you lead your business through practice challenges is the key to success. The irony is it's skills we’re not taught in architecture school. The thing we need most right now is skills you need to learn elsewhere. That's where Unmeasured can help. I teach architects how to be great leaders of practice. Do your practice, your team and yourself a service, and develop your human skills for a more durable practice. Introducing The Culture of Practice.
