ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference thr Angela Mazzi

Work has changed. How we think about it has not. If you are feeling the friction of asynchronous schedules, pressure to respond to a 24 hour cycle of demands and the fallout of being stressed out, you need to listen to this episode.
Stress is not a badge of honor- it's a cry for help that leads to poor performance in the short term and major physical and mental health issues over time.
Modern fears trigger a stress response even though you might not be in physical danger. Catastrophizing puts you in survival mode where everything feels like a threat, robbing you of the creativity ad empathy most needed to deal with the situation at hand.
Reestablish human connections and empathy for yourself and your team so that you feel safe being authentic and vulnerable.
Understand how you want to prioritize the allocation of your resources of time, money and talent. If one feels out of balance, use the others to recalibrate.
Setting clear boundaries is the most loving way you can interact with others.

World changers don't have time to stay in their comfort zone. Steffi Reyes-Thomas shares how she embarked on a path of climate advocacy and holistic design that has pushed her past what she thought she would ever be able to do.
Ask and educate- be willing to take a stand and call out the issues others may either not be aware of or not know that have the power to change.
Find a community - the support as well as ways to collaborate, innovate and practice will 10x anything you will ever do on your own.
Be willing to make yourself uncomfortable or you will never be motivated to take the big risks you need to to make the difference you feel called to make. Put yourself in a space to move past what you believe you can do.
Space creates a precedent for living and we create space.
Host a climate cafe and gain empathy for how others feel on the issue. look to unite not fight and foster empowerment and collaboration. Help people see that climate change isn't about big entities and government agencies, but about the actions they take every day.

Sure it's cool to work on a big, cutting edge sustainable project. Tiffany Broyles Yost has been there and done that. Today, she shares how her interest in well being and quality of life translated to a career that makes a sustainability and resilience impact at the scale of the Everyproject.
It doesn't have to be buzzworthy to make a difference. The incremental steps you take by helping clients see how sustainable measures can impact the other operational metrics they care about have a broad, cumulative effect on the environment.
You don't need a lot of experience to have an impact. Follow your interests and say yes to doing what aligns with them.
Be curious, meet and talk to people. By building your network, you attract opportunities. Leverage the experts in your firm or community as mentors or by offering to help them.
Your biggest growth happens when you take the biggest risks. See everything as a learning experience.
Never feel too overwhelmed to get started. Be confident in your core skill set, willingness to keep learning and desire to help others succeed in reaching sustainable goals.

Just because negative bias is a survival mechanism hardwired into your biology doesn't mean it's serving you. That's because the things you fear in modern life are a threat to your ego not your life. Listen in to learn how to train your brain to tell the difference so you can ditch lack based thinking and start thriving.
A sign you're experiencing negative bias is a desire to fix something you fell isn't working "right." That focus on struggle and lack keeps you from seeing what is working right and celebrating the wins.
Fear of being judged causes you to do and say what you think will make someone else happy. That is a self betrayal and it creates an inauthentic connection - a facade it takes energy to maintain while denying your own fulfillment and happiness.
Fear of someone else failing causes you to micromanage their life. That deprives the person from learning about healthy failure and from their own growth.
Fear of your own failure keeps you focused on maintaining what you have instead of getting what you want.
Overcome negative bias by making the desired outcome (not your ego) the star of the show.

If how you do anything is how you do everything, why think small? My guest Noam Platt talks about the value of the architect's skill set in solving problems at every scale. Learn why you need to do more than meet expectations and how a series of right actions can lead to making a big impact.
Even the smallest details impact an experience. Question everything and look at ways to make it better.
Design is a big mind problem- you don't have to figure everything out on your own Design with and for all of the communities your projects will serve.
Let people from all parts of your life inform your career, forge alliances that can help you design better.
It doesn't take super skills or a lot of time to make a big difference. It does take saying yes when you see a need.
Your skills as an architect are too valuable to waste on projects that don't let you use them.

Forging new paths doesn't require special skills or experience to get started.  Graciela Carrillo shares her inspiring story of becoming an advocate for women, minorities, immigrants and young professionals in the architecture community.
You don't make an impact by yourself. Build a container for others who care about an issue to join you. Together you inspire each other.
Decide what you're passionate about. Find the data and use the numbers to show where and how you can make a difference (as well as the results once you take action).
You qualify yourself. Say yes to things that matter to you because you bring value not just through expertise, but through the network you can build, people you can inspire, and message you can spread. Just telling your story will inspire others.
Act in an organic way according to your priorities and opportunities will arise. Be willing to look at multiple scales and formats for sharing a message.
Seek out mentors to help you grow. As you grow, others can grow along with you.
