Next Week, join our Mid Career Professionals for Coffee! FREE coffee + breakfast treats! ☕️

October is officially Spooky Season 🎃 It’s time to talk about Managing Fear! What we fear, how we manage it, and which fears hold us back or propel us forward all play a role in leading through uncertain times. Come ready to practice new skills and share what you’ve learned, are working on, or are struggling with when it comes to fear in your work and life.

Wherever you are on your career journey – in the AEC industry or not – all are welcome. Bring a friend and let’s recharge our professional batteries and elevate our careers together!
