The Key to Showing Value to New A/E/C Hires So They'll Stay

Today's emerging talent wants more than a welcome packet and an awkward free lunch.

This generation wants others to see, hear, and value them. 

They want coaching and wisdom; not onboarding jargon. 

🔷Humans have an innate desire to feel included.

To be part of a group or community. 

And above all, younger generations want training because they want to grow.

When communication is one-way (or nonexistent), newcomers to A/E/C quietly disengage.

The Communication Skill Holding Back Our Emerging Leaders

Have you ever felt your voice didn't matter in a room full of experts? 

Younger architects and engineers often feel they must have all the answers in presentations and meetings. 

Not true. 😮

The need for perfection is exhausting and expensive when you lose bids to more confident competitors. 

• It's comforting to know that no one knows everything. 

• And that's more than OK; it's liberating. 

• Project managers, superintendents, and others can overcome limiting beliefs with new communication and mindset processes. 

An architect in this month's Top Tier Communicator Training said: 

"I keep falling into a trap, feeling I'm not good enough, and I didn't even know it. Now it's clear, and I have all the puzzle pieces to improve."

Admitting when you don't know something can be empowering.
