Supporting architects in mastering their practice.
Developing their competitive edge.
Unleashing collective skills, energy and passion.

Do you want an empowered culture, where everyone has greater purpose, work better, and with more time for the practice you all love?

Work with me to level up your practice by developing a more responsive, agile and engaged culture. So that your practice will thrive, embrace opportunity and more adaptable to change.

You want to work on the parts of architectural practice that attracted you to it, right? But dealing with failures, bottlenecks and roadblocks are taking all your time. Your practice is being held back.

It’s got you feeling stretched, stressed and overcommitted. In fact, the whole team seems out of sync. The signs of friction are increasing.

There’s never enough time to get on top of it and errors are being made.

I get it.
Architectural practice is freaking hard.
I been there.

I offer:
☑️ A guaranteed way to free up more time and invite more opportunities.
☑️ Support fostering a practice culture underpinning future growth so you can handle any possibility.
☑️ A customised workshop series tailored to your needs and deliver the insights, skills, and knowledge to save you time, money and elevate your practice.

The Culture of Practice…
Workshops to elevate your practice

The Culture of Practice Workshops are a kit-of-parts designed to level up the human skills and culture of your architectural practice. Choosing from over 20 one hour modules, we’ll assemble them into a workshop series tailored to the needs of your practice.

Facilitated by architect and coach Michael Lewarne, the modules cover leadership, teamwork, communication, decision-making, and more – empowering you to thrive, embrace opportunities, and enrich your practice.

These workshops, with their online learning resources, live interactive sessions, support community, and optional coaching, provide a flexible, impactful professional development solution to help your team cultivate the essential human skills for better collaboration, innovation, and wellbeing in a changing landscape of architectural practice.

I want to leave you feeling excited…

with insights and skills to level up your architectural practice.
