Finding Joy and Purpose in Your Work: Interview with Jill Bergman

ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design

Success is something you navigate for yourself. My guest Jill Bergman shares insights from her successful career and gives electric advice on leadership, networking, mentorship and more.

1. Burnout helps no one. When you need to take a break or shift to part time, don't slog through. You can negotiate work schedules to work for you.
2. Make a career dashboard to understand your own rhythms and patterns. Fill in the gaps using this self knowledge.
3. Your career has two major phases. The early part is a doing phase where you acquire technical skills. The later part is the leading phase is about holding vision and sharing your expertise.
4. Getting licensed is about valuing yourself as a professional. It pays compound interest throughout your career. The tests are actually designed to be taken by someone 3-5 years out of school.
5. Show up authentically to build trust with clients, colleagues and co-workers. Use humor to be accessible and relatable, storytelling to connect with and engage your audience, and reflective listening to create psychological safety.
6. The best way to advance in your career is to teach others to do what you are doing.
7. Be generous with your time. Build a professional network and give back through mentoring, committee work and thought leadership.
