Are you a woman in architecture who struggles with overwork, work stress, or even burnout? Your brain continues to spin with work-related worries even when you’re not there, and it’s hard to take time off without guilt or to be fully present with your kids, your partner, or your relationships outside of work?
As a leader, you take on too many tasks and struggle to say no. You’re constantly being pulled into inefficient meetings and work in the weeds, and you worry constantly about whether it’s all enough, if you’re good enough, and about keeping everyone happy.
If you struggle with this—and even fantasize sometimes about having a boring easy job (but you know that wouldn’t satisfy you either)—this training is for you. You’ll learn the real reason why so many high-achieving women leaders get stuck in overwork and what you can do about it. You’ll learn the surprising pathway to achieving more in your career by doing less. You’ll learn how to get out of the weeds and operate at a higher level in your work so you can have more impact, more satisfaction, and more time and mental space to enjoy everything outside of your job in this one precious life.
You'll learn:
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will reduce work hours and stress while achieving more client satisfaction and profit.
2. Participants will practice strategies to be less reactive and be a more strategic and visionary in their roles
3. Participants will enact strategies to set and maintain boundaries between work and their personal lives
4. Participants will create mental breaks between work and their personal lives to reduce their chances of burnout and increase their chances of creative ideation
Presenter:
This course is presented by Maya Sharfi. Maya Sharfi is founder of Build Yourself a leadership coaching company that helps women in design and planning grow into senior leadership roles without burnout and overwhelm.
