At Constructivist, we believe that there is a gap in the way that many engineers have been taught, and that is in divergent thinking. We spend a great deal of time learning to analyse and optimise, but we have to have the ideas in the first place. As the climate crisis tightens its grip and our economy becomes increasingly volatile, the way we deliver projects in the next five years is going to look very different from the way we have done in the past. That means that old thinking may no-longer be serving us. We will need some new ideas. 🌟 As a senior leader, empower your team to lead this change with our ‘How to Have Ideas’ workshop, led by award-winning trainer Oliver Broadbent. This interactive session equips your team with practical techniques to enhance idea generation and creative thinking. Discover how our workshop can transform their approach to creative thinking and help your organisation stay ahead in a rapidly evolving world. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/erEjqGC3 #Leadership #CreativeThinking #Innovation #Engineering #TeamDevelopment #IdeaGeneration #Constructivist #OliverBroadbent #ProfessionalDevelopment #Workshop

🌟 Leadership, Legacy & Lifelong Learning 🌟 Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Kirk Narburgh, FAIA, ASLA, NCARB, LEED, CEO of King + King Architects, about his journey spanning four decades in architecture, sustainable design, and education. Our conversation revealed not only Kirk’s passion for shaping educational spaces but also his insights into the heart of leadership—self-awareness, mentorship, and authentic connection. Kirk's words on leadership struck a chord: "It's not only about technical expertise but about understanding ourselves and those around us." His journey underscores how architects can balance creative, technical, and interpersonal skills to make an impact. For future architects and those working in the built environment, Kirk’s message is clear: invest in self-discovery, build meaningful relationships, and continually refine your craft. Whether mentoring students or guiding clients through challenges, Kirk’s legacy at King + King Architects stands as a testament to a sustainable, community-first approach. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Foster Self-Awareness: Growth begins with understanding your unique strengths and how you impact others. Mentorship & Collaboration: Guiding others elevates the entire team. Culture-Driven Success: Aligning values with company culture is essential for long-term success and client trust. Let’s champion a future where architecture serves communities and leaves a legacy of positive impact. Thank you, Kirk, for sharing your journey with us. #Leadership #Architecture #Sustainability #Mentorship #SelfAwareness #KingAndKingArchitects https://lnkd.in/giYfuTyA

As leaders and professionals, we carry the responsibility to nurture the next generation of talent. Mentorship isn’t just about sharing knowledge; it’s about empowering others to achieve their potential, unlocking creativity, and building a legacy of growth. In this latest article, I reflect on why investing in young talent is crucial—not just for individuals, but for the future of our industries. I share insights on how mentorship has shaped my own journey and the life-changing power of guidance, encouragement, and opportunity.
