In this episode, I answer a question from the Architecting community about negativity. As a leader, you have to deal with situations that can be downright adverse at times. Here's why talking about it isn't a bad thing.
Your brain is hardwired for negative bias as a survival instinct, so we naturally see what’s wrong before what’s right. That can be leveraged for good as it can paint a more complete picture. It can also be demoralizing and seen as a way to shut something down.See a challenge instead of a problem. How can you be resourceful about meeting the challenge? What opportunities is it giving you to learn or hone your skill set? What holes in your work is it allowing you to fix?Build on what you are learning instead of shutting it down by saying yes and instead of no but...
Stop fighting. Fighting relies on polarizing the situation, making the other party wrong. Instead, assume positive intent. This let’s you build on feedback instead of proving you are right.
Conflict is a growth. It lets us consider a more diverse point of view as well as to see how we can improve. We can’t do that if we are relentlessly positive and ignore anything we don’t agree with.

Does your creative process feel like a glacier? If you wan to gain confidence in your decisions (and the process that informed them), implement a better decision making structure. Listen in for all the pro tips to save you time and money.
The creative process goes through multiple divergent and convergent steps, each time becoming more granular. If you find yourself staying macro when you should be zooming in, build more structure around the information gathering divergent phases and develop better criteria for making decisions as you more to the convergent phases.Commit to the bit. Know the constraints, understand how and why they apply, and clearly define the opportunities.Gather data on both the voice of the customer and the process to understand how to best meet needs. Make these your decision making criteria.Use the data informed decision process to communicate to your team as well so that they don't go down rabbit holes exploring ideas that aren't high impact.Use priorities from your decision structure to help in value engineering. Now you can easily see where to invest vs. what to keep more basic.Listen to the Space Doctor Sessions on my YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/rZYQpt6MBS8

As monsters go, Jealousy is one of the scariest. Nothing makes you feel less safe than being the target of someone's envy. You don't know who you can trust or what (mis)perceptions your coworkers might have about you. Listen in to learn how to thrash Ol'Green Eyes.
Jealousy feeds on lack. Any situation where resources like a promotion, raise, leadership role, positive attention, etc. are scarce can spawn it. Jealousy uses confirmation bias as a weapon. When someone is jealous, they become blind to a person's good qualities and hyper fixated on their shortcomings.You can use Jealousy as a mirror. When you understand what activates it, you can gain a lot of clarity about the big picture and interpersonal dynamics.Comparisons with others give Jealousy superpowers. Comparisons to your past selves gives you superpowers as you appreciate how far you've come. Remember to factor in personal priorities so you see your whole life, not just your work life.Collaborations are a Jealousy repellent because they create "parallel" work opportunities help everyone play to their strength instead of wasting energy trying to one up each other.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

Conflict shouldn't produce a trauma response, but it so often does. If you find yourself fighting back like a vigilante hero, caving in while you silently stew, or running away from the issue (and people), you need to develop some better skills. Listen in to learn more.
We all have different ways of responding to conflict based on how comfortable we are with encountering it. When it feels adversarial, a healthy response is hard to summon.When we believe in something, it's difficult not to get emotionally attached and feel personally attacked when that cause isn't accepted by others.Collaborative conflict handling helps to move past assumptions about the other party and move towards a better understanding of the issues underlying a position taken.The goal is to arrive at a solution that allows the best that can happen, not the best in your opinion.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

You might not be a world class expert or the ultimate authority on an issue you care about. Maybe you can't teach the graduate level class on it. Guess what? Most people need the intro level information. And you can share it. In a way that's far more relatable and useful than most experts. Listen in to this episode to overcome imposter syndrome and leverage who you are and what you know.
Imposter syndrome is most likely to inflict people who feel they don't belong. Yet your voice as a young professional, woman, minority reflects a much needed diverse and accessible point of view.You know you have Imposter syndrome if you've dealt with any of the following: fear of failing, fear of success/being too visible, perfectionism, analysis paralysis, overperfoming, chasing qualifications.Don't wait and hope for an opportunity. Make one for yourself by taking action instead of waiting for permission.Celebrate the little wins- they build momentum and provide you with the receipts that prove you are not a fraud.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

Stop being the pick me person. You know, the one who tries way to hard but still doesn't get the payoff. In this episode, you'll get the downlow on how to focus on what you want to be known for.
There are no accidents. Your fear of success is the only thing blocking you from opportunities.Focusing on what you want to be known for is way different than ambition. It's your differentiator, your personal brand, how you are inspired to make a difference.Once you understand your brand, you can easily determine whether to say yes to an opportunity (even if it feels terrifyingly risky) or whether it's not the best use of your valuable time, talent and energy.When you communicate your brand, others start to bring you opportunities for things you actually want to do.Be clear about what you want, but open to the fact that it can look different that the way you thought it would. You will evolve as a person and your life circumstances will change, but your why will keep you consistently moving toward a life and job you love.Nothing is ever wasted. Every aligned action is helping to build the foundation of the success you want.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

Have you been accepting the premise that success is only about meeting expectations, validation and obligations? If you want a career in different areas, listen to this episode to learn what's really behind success: motivation.
There are two types of motivation. Intrinsic motivation is all about the love of doing something while extrinsic is about earning a reward or avoiding a punishment.Our culture is set up on an extrinsic system, trapping many people into a life where they are disconnected from their passions because they are too afraid of what they can lose if they don;t do what's expected.We need both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to be successful on our own terms.Learning your dominant motivation style and how to bring in your less dominant one when needed let's you live a balance life.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

Did you think shining bright was just about drawing attention to yourself? Let's change that channel right now. You have a purpose and when you live it unapologetically, the light you shine in service to others also lights up the career paths of other creatives who want to make a difference.

Having a no good, terrible, very bad day? In this episode, I answer a question from a member of our Architecting community on how to have more good days and how to be more gentle with yourself on those less than good ones.
It's tempting to overgive on a bad day because you feel guilty, but that's the worst thing you can do because stress impacts your focus, cognitive ability, creativity and mood.Reserve 25% of your energy for self care each day. On a low energy or stressful day it's even more important to be gentle with yourself.Make a hard day easier by taking time to reset, prioritizing low key tasks that give you small wins and finding fun and enjoyable ways to keep momentum going like hand sketching or model building.Build up resources you can leverage. Delegate more to others and build up their skill sets, know who you can ask for help, hire support for errands, childcare, or homekeeping.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

Does it seem like no one's hiring? Or that you can't find any good matches for your skill set? That's because skills only reflect competency, not value. Listen in for essential tips on magnetizing your dream job to you. Create the opportunity you want instead of chasing open listings and trying to conform to their descriptions.
Get clarity on your why. When you talk about your skills through the lens of what you are passionate about, you differentiate yourself and add value.Show the receipts. Either share results from projects, or create mini exercises that pertain to your projects that let you apply your skills around issues you are passionate about and show what you learned.Understand the pain points of the industry, your clients and the company you want to work with. Do your homework to target your search and show how you fit and what could be possible through working together..Drive commitment by sharing your expectations as well as who else you are talking with.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

In these shaky economic times, it's really easy to want to stay in a job even when what you're doing might be blocking you from your true career path. In this episode, I'll help you rip off that security blanket and help you claim the opportunities you need to have an impactful vocation.
Playing it safe is actually waaaay more stressful than chasing your dreams. You are allowing your energy to be drained instead of charged.Just because you are good at doing something, doesn't mean it fulfills you.Be like water and find a way to get where you need to go- no matter what. Even small moves make a big difference over time.Succeeding should feel normal, because you are meant to do this.Surround yourself with resources and people that want to see you succeed, not ones who shame you for dreaming big.Check out my Stressless Success Course here: https://architectingpodcast.com/index.php/stressless/

In this ask me anything session, hear my response to a member of the Architecting Community who is feeling a little less than creative lately. Learn my top rituals to restore your creativity and keep it flowing.
Creativity ebbs and flow with your level of energy and inspiration. Don't expect a steady state or feel bad if you aren't always at max creativity.Minimize creativity killers. Look at things that are draining your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental energy and think about how to rest and recover from the toll they take. Look at the root causes of the things that are creating stress in your life.Cultivate a creativity ritual so that you can train yourself to feel more comfortable in creative flow.Your unblah ritual starts with re-regulating your nervous system with meditation/movement. Follow that up with brain dump time where you journal, doodle or sketch.Finish your ritual with DND creative time. Begin with 30 minutes and work your way up from there.Give Architecting a Google review- be sure to name the episode! https://g.page/r/CVYGVmEtsUjdEAI/review

When is spilling some tea more than just some idle gossip? When you connect on the regular with a group of people who believe in having and holding for others big visions about what's possible. Listen in to learn more about how a genius group can uplevel your career (and life).
Your life will match that of the people you spend the most time with. So surround yourself with those who make you feel inspired, can point you to resources, build your network and be a reliable sounding board when you're struggling.The difference between people who make a difference and those who don't is a willingness to take action. Your genius group can help direct that action and keep you motivated.Where you see obstacles, someone else sees a breakthrough. When you share your dreams with those who have already accomplished a lot, they seem a lot more doable than when you spend time with people who don't even understand why you want to evolve.Give Architecting a Google review- be sure to name the episode! https://g.page/r/CVYGVmEtsUjdEAI/review

Oh yay- you accomplished something big! How fast can you stick a pin in that bubble to burst it? Collectively, we are so focused on what we haven't done (yet) that we forget to celebrate our wins and those of others. Here's why that's super bad to do.
Every accomplishment deserves to be celebrated. By recognizing what's special and savoring it, you uplevel your point of view and can see even more ways to change the world while living your best life.Instead of worrying about whether you are worthy of a recognition, see it as a starting point not a destination. You now have agency to make an even greater impact.Don't fall prey to future tripping where you minimize what you did today. People who always hinge their happiness on the condition of a what they haven't done instead of what they have are on a hella future trip where success is never achievable.Make sure to clap up others for their wins. Help them see what's now possible instead of minimizing what they've done.You're not the same person after a win- you're a better and stronger one. Never let anyone shame you into thinking that you have a big ego because you upleveled.Give Architecting a Google review- be sure to name the episode! https://g.page/r/CVYGVmEtsUjdEAI/review

Whether you are newly responsible for something, or trying like hell to delegate already, your biggest obstacle is overcoming fear (yes really). Listen to this episode to learn how to burst the experience bubble without creating bad blood.
The experience bubble is the friction experienced when facing a learning curve. It can be scary to be confronted with this leading to behavior that inadvertently erodes trust in your work relationships.Some things that you might do if you are in an experience bubble are avoiding asking questions, not sharing work in progress to get feedback, only doing what you know will work and being defensive about criticism.If you are trying to delegate to someone in the experience bubble, avoid being authoritarian or disciplinary. Make sure that everyone knows they are working on a complex problem and that is will take iterations to get it right. Frame criticism as a question. Appreciate what the person is doing right.Give Architecting a Google review- be sure to name the episode! https://g.page/r/CVYGVmEtsUjdEAI/review

Burnout recovery involves more than just taking a break from stress. That's why so many vacations just make you wish you didn't have to head back to...wait! Could it be that burnout recovery is about creative restoration? Listen in to find out
Burnout comes from having a lack of resources, over-dominance of mundane and routine tasks and no space for inspiration. Creativity is what gives us the resiliency to avoid getting burned out. Creativity requires energy, not just time. That energy comes from inspiration.Often the sources of burnout are little things that we tolerate or take on that add up to a burden over time.When you feel too exhausted, apathetic or afraid to pursue exploratory, transformational or combinatorial work, you have choked off your creative supply. You only see adversity, not challenge or opportunity.Restore your creativity by breaking the cycle and challenging yourself to do something different and adventurous.Remember to share your insights on instagram and tag @architectingpodcast for a chance to win great prizes!
