We have an image problem in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). The challenge stems from how the industry is organized, multiple project delivery methods, and how much money is at risk. Is it any wonder profits are so thin and 75% of AEC companies have difficulty attracting talent? I help individuals, teams, and entire companies create and use engaging Leadership Narratives as the antidote.
I have been an AEC industry advisor since 1988. At some point more evaluations, workshops, and conferences are not the answer. Eventually the leader needs to put all of that training, development, and knowledge into practice. That's where I come in.
To serve individual leaders, project teams, and company executive teams by co-authoring remarkable Leadership Narratives that help them win better work and recruit better people.
It is brief written document that tells a clear, concise, and compelling story about leadership for an individual, team, or an entire company. It helps you win work that is not so fee sensitive. It helps you recruit better. It's the most powerful communication tool in the leader's tool box.
Very few people are born leaders. The rest of us continually develop our leadership skills and presence. So, what is your leadership story? The narrative you tell yourself about yourself - as a leader - is an essential leadership tool. Is your Leadership Narrative accurate and inspiring? Many leaders hang onto old, or stale narratives that prevent success. They may have received leadership assessments and excellent training. But, they do not know how to synthesize all they have learned into a written Leadership Narrative.
Maybe that is you. Maybe you need a mentor who has actually served the AEC industry for over 35 years; someone who can really listen to you. Maybe that mentor also needs to be a strong writer who can fuse your Leadership Narrative into plain English. Maybe you need communication coaching to use that Leadership Narrative to inspire and align your teams, attract new team members, and win more and better customers.
I made a discovery 25 years ago that changed my views on leadership. I know why leaders can receive leadership assessments and attend workshops and still not move the needle. It's because they do not use humankind's most powerful communication tool: storytelling.
Psychologists know that storytelling is a leadership tool. Recent advancements in neuroscience provide empirical proof as to why. Look, we live an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Leaders need every tool they can to inspire others and align resources. I can help you write an inspired Leadership Narrative. Working with me is an empowering way to merge and apply all of your training, development, and life experience.
And I do this using communication tools I have refined over decades of leadership development work across the U.S.
At work.
