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

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

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 architecture profession is at risk of intellectual inbreeding. It happens when a profession only talks to itself. The best ideas should survive through evolutionary pressures, but how can they evolve if we're not exposed to new concepts? Architects need to actively seek out fresh perspectives to challenge the status quo and drive innovation. What's one idea from outside the field of architecture that you think could reframe and rethink how we approach practice? #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership

Ever wondered why architects don't reflect enough? 🔴   Time constraints: Architects often struggle to find the time for reflection amidst their busy schedules. 🔴   Bias towards action: Many prioritise 'doing' over 'thinking'. 🔴   External validation: We tend to favour external validation or direction before reflecting on our actions. 🔴    Discomfort with the process: Not everyone likes or understands the process of self-reflection. 🔴   ROI: Some can't see a good return on investment compared to other uses of their time. Remember, reflection is key to personal and professional growth. Make reflection easy with the Architect's Leadership Journal! A structured, leadership-focused journal designed to support architects' self-development by building a weekly habit of reflection and intention setting.

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.

The most dangerous phrase in an architectural practice... isn't a client's declaration, "I've had a crack at designing this myself." The most dangerous phrase in an architectural practice is, "We've always done it this way." ⚠ Technology is transforming industries at a great rate. ⚠ Climate change is an existential risk to the construction industry. ⚠ The rise of specialist consultants is reducing scope. If you're not regularly questioning your assumptions and practices, you risk being left behind. What aspect of your work is overdue for innovation? #statusquo #coaching #architects #architecture #architecturalpractice #leadership
