So what is the most difficult part of being an architectural project leader?

Dealing with difficult clients? Especially angry clients, that's really hard.

Doing all that construction administration? Keeping track of all that stuff.

How about having to manage multiple projects? Ten or twelve projects. I manage more than 20 projects on average each week. That's really hard, keeping track of everything.

I don't take away from any of those things, those are all really hard. But the thing that I believe is the most difficult part of being an architectural project team leader is, the mindset.

Believing that you're a leader, actually becoming that leader. My course, Leadership Transformation, is an extensive assistance to help you get from where you are before you're a leader to helping you become a leader mentally. What do you go through to transform yourself into a leader?

The course is an hour and a half long, and in 10 lessons,

The 4 Mindsets. When you're a student, you have a particular mindset about how you think about your life and think about your place in that experience. And then you become an employee in an architecture firm, and you develop a different mindset that re coral correlates to that experience. Being a project team leader is another transformation into another mindset. I talk about all these in the very first lesson to show kind of where you are. Get the context involved.

Then we dive into how you learn, how your brain does things that keep you from learning, and that's one of the reasons it's so hard to learn all this stuff that you need to know to be a leader of architectural projects and project teams.

Next I present all the stuff that is yelling at you, all the things you can't do, all the reasons you can't do it, and how to get through that, how to isolate those things, tear them apart.

Following that you’ll learn how to build in new beliefs that support you as a leader in that role.

Then I help you fix that into place by repetition and good actions that support it. The five intentional actions. Two of them that are internal, and three of them are external.

We finish with Success Action Work, because nothing ever happens without taking action. I give you specific strategies that you can put into place right now so that you can become that project team leader.

Now, when you're starting out when you're not leading a team. You don't wait until you get assigned to be a team leader. You need to learn it now, so that when you do get that assignment, or you approach your boss and say, “I want to be a project team leader,” you are ready. You have to be mentally ready to take on that task.
