  • SFRT: Why Good Firms Lose Good Projects

    Please RSVP to Brad Russell via email by clicking the red “RSVP” button above and using the subject line “RSVP for November 13″ The presentation will begin promptly at 12:00 PM and conclude at 1:00 PM. ABOUT THE PROGRAM Most pursuits are decided long before the RFP arrives. Learn the three habits that separate the firms that win from the firms that were simply qualified. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Identify the three pre-RFP milestones that most influence a client’s decision — establishing the relationship, shaping the need, and positioning the firm — and recognize when they have already been missed. Apply a client-first interview approach that opens with the client’s goals, constraints, and definition of success rather than firm credentials, history and portfolio. Distinguish a “program-first” approach from a “problem-first” approach and articulate the client’s underlying problem in a single sentence before design work begins. Evaluate an in-progress pursuit against relationship timing, interview framing, and problem definition to find where it is exposed and set next steps before the next milestone is missed. 1.0 LU ABOUT THE PRESENTER With 30 years in architecture and interior design, Maryanne Hewitt has excelled in design, firm ownership, and business development. She understands what it takes to win work consistently, and shares practical strategies that help firms turn strong capabilities into won projects.

  • CAPACITY BEFORE GROWTH | Executive Leadership Workshop

    CAPACITY BEFORE GROWTH | Executive Leadership Workshop

You’ve built something. You’ve achieved success. You’ve taken on responsibility. But here’s the question: Do you have the capacity to sustain what’s next? Most leaders are conditioned to pursue more: more growth, more influence, more opportunities, more responsibility, and more success. But growth without capacity often produces exhaustion, misalignment, strained relationships, and diminishing returns.

Understand the physical, mental, relational, and organizational demands of leadership. Identify practical ways to increase your ability to execute, influence, and sustain growth.
