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.

The second step in the Eight Steps of Appraisal Preparation workbook lies in the actual meeting preoaration! Being clear on what you want to achieve and having some thoughtful questions to ask, shows that you are interested in your development and are willing to take steps to improve. If you can, co-create a short, clear agenda and points of discussion: you should both know what to expect. The Appraisal Preparation workbook helps you get clear on what outcome you want, reflect on the past, and think forward. You can ensure that your appraisal is productive and beneficial for you and your employer.

The fourth step of the Eight Steps to Goal Setting Success is to take a look at your Resources and Support. When we set up or ‘hack’ our environment to support our goals, they become easier to implement. Our motivations, decisions, and desires will only get us so far. Examples include: 🌟 Tidy desk. 🌟 Reducing commitments. 🌟 Limiting distractions. 🌟 Surround yourself with the right people. 🌟 Filter the information you are reading. By setting up your environment whilst thinking about your resources and support network, you are setting yourself up for success. The Goal Setting Workbook is designed to help you identify the resources and supports that are available to you.

Architects, how many pieces of butterpaper did you use designing your practice? If you’re creative then it’ll show up in how you practice. There’s more than way to do things. What's different about your practice in comparison to the next architectural practice? These are my final 5 Directives! On “How to better work” They’re all in support of propelling the profession to greater heights. Any I’ve missed or that you vehemently disagree with? Directives 16-20 from last week: https://lnkd.in/gMhXAYGp #workshops #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

What are the assumption in architectural practice that are holding it back? I’ll go first with three of my favourites: → Every architectural brief should be answered with a building. → The way we’ve always practiced is the way we should continue to. → That more (typologies, projects, status) is more. What other assumptions might architects let go of? #workshops #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. With as little as an hour invested, you will come away better equipped to survive these market conditions. Over the next two weeks I’ll be posting more here, but if you can’t wait, you can read more here: https://lnkd.in/giAYPxy6 or book in a time for a free Practice Clarity Consultation: https://lnkd.in/gNUBBjCP #workshops #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #culture

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

What if you did the opposite of what other architects doing? It can be effective when stuck in a design problem. Why not in practice? How might doing the opposite transform your practice and the value you deliver to clients? For example: → Instead of doing full services, offer design concepts only. → Instead of reducing your fees to win projects, increase them. → Instead of doing everything in BIM, hand draw only. → Instead of bespoke, offer from a catalogue of designs. → Instead of bigger, offer smaller. What unconventional practice model could revolutionise the way you serve clients? #designpractice #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

Architects, is your practice on fear or opportunity? "What are you not doing, in fear it might not work?" Architecture practice requires courage. It's easy to follow the well-worn path. But innovation and adaptability comes from a willingness to be different. Which assumptions do you need to question and test? What’s the change in your practice you’re avoiding out of fear? #workshops #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership
