-----

The first workshop of our 3-part series will be held virtually on July 31st at 6:30 pm.

Learn how to ease your most common proposal pain points and discover effective ways to articulate your unique values and tailor proposal content to each client to land more RFPs.
Participants will learn how to craft a compelling value-centered approach and adapt it to each client. We will begin by exploring the 3Ps research framework - People, Process, and Projects - to develop clear values and language that showcase your capabilities.

Then, we'll dive into client research techniques, uncovering methods to align your approach with each client's unique values and requirements. By the end of this session, you'll have drafted a powerful positioning statement that will guide the layout and narrative of your proposals, along with the skills to tailor it effectively, setting the stage for persuasive, client-centered proposals.

You have learned the skills to succeed in architecture, but do you know how to communicate your work to non-architects? Knowing how to talk about design and construction to non-professionals is a critical skill as you grow your career. While many architects are good at talking to their peers, they’re not always able to successfully verbalize the importance of their work to people outside the profession, including clients.

To be a leader, you need to be one step ahead of the game. Instead of describing the what, you need to be focused on the why. By communicating your value and your promise, you can confidently demonstrate ways to overcome your clients& #39; challenges and meet their goals. By building your brand, you can forefront your vision, expertise, and knowledge to your peers within the industry and beyond.

In this workshop, the co-presenters will show you how to create and disseminate your personal brand that can take you from satisfactory to sensational. They’ll discuss methods and strategy for building your reputation, such as: how to clearly communicate your ideas, write about relevant topics, leverage social media, speak at conferences, participate in professional organizations, and network like crazy.
