The best way

Professional Development for Architecture Practices

Professional Development for Architecture and
Landscape Architecture Practices. 

Are you an architecture or landscape architecture practice looking for individual coaching or professional development to enhance your team's productivity?

 

Have you considered how communicating across cultures or within culturally diverse teams might be impacting the success of your projects? 

 

Do you want to understand more about how you can use language to create a more inclusive environment for teams with diverse cultural backgrounds?

 

Language and cultural training has helped many of my clients to significantly improve their self-confidence. Not only has it impacted how they show up at work, but it has enhanced their productivity and relationships with their team, clients and external consultants. 

 

Before working with me, several of my clients felt their English language skills were holding them back. However, when we delved deeper into understanding their challenges, we worked closely on their mindset and language skills in a targeted way. When we role-play and analyse language for different situations such as meetings, writing emails and presenting concepts, my clients are able to immediately use the feedback and implement it in their workplace. 

When someone has a safe space in which they can grow their confidence by expressing their ideas and receiving feedback, their confidence flourishes, and the flow-on effect is they feel more engaged at work. The benefit to the individual is enormous, while the benefit to the business is also significant. My clients often report feeling more part of the team and understanding their role, and feeling more engaged overall within the design profession. 

 

Through ArchiEnglish, you can offer your employees who speak English as a second language all the individual coaching programs we provide individual professionals or tailor the coaching to help your organisation reach specific objectives. 

 

Individual or Group Training 

 

You might have one individual in mind or a group of individuals who would benefit from the training together. We can discuss what works best for meeting the needs of the organisation. 

 

Participants of the training will learn:

 

How specific cultural communication issues might be impacting their work relationships; 

How language or lack of vocabulary might be having an impact on the success of their projects; 

How to develop more confident, authentic and assertive communication and how to develop presentation skills that build upon their communication strengths; and 

How to create more authority as a leader

Corporate Training and Workshops 

ArchiEnglish offers workshops and training for practices that want to build trust and respect within their teams. My 1:1 and group coaching experience has given me invaluable insight into the impact that speaking English as a second language can have on individuals ability to show up at work and deliver successful projects. I have found that the obstacle isn't always just at the individual level; often, the challenge can also be felt by other team members who are unaware of cultural differences that might be causing misunderstandings between project teams or clients. The excellent news is that workshops and training can help bridge that awareness gap and create more understanding within project teams. 

 

To determine the best training program for you, we will first discuss your organisational needs and choose the right strategy moving forward. During our workshops, we include vital clues about how different cultures might communicate and the challenges faced by multicultural and bilingual professionals; and we also explore organisational techniques to help provide support for the team and individuals to overcome these obstacles such as: 

 

  • What specific cultural communication issues might be impacting your projects?

  • Why is it important to understand cultural diversity and how it affects us all?

  • Ways you can use language to create an inclusive environment for your team members of different cultural backgrounds.

  • The importance of and how to deliver feedback in a culturally diverse team 

 

We also address specific concerns relevant to architecture and landscape architecture such as: 

 

  • How to communicate in a clear, concise manner at all levels in the organisation

  • How to prepare for difficult conversations

  • How to present a strong, compelling case for clients

  • How to prepare and deliver powerful presentations

  • How to overcome challenges related to team members and clients with different cultural and language backgrounds 

  • How to reduce conflict and increase productivity within the workplace

  • How to use language to create an inclusive environment that works with diverse cultural backgrounds.

  • We can also explore specific techniques for how coaching and mentoring within the organisation can benefit the team.

You might not know how

to make a change,

but you

know you want

to feel different 

It's not just about learning grammar

it's about digging deeper than the language to help you move forward with how you feel.

English for Architectural Communications, University Student, Thailand 

 

As I have Tara as a teacher I feel like I have an amazing advisor. She always has good suggestions to help me improve my English and help me to be confident when presenting. Every time when I have a class with Tara I always have fun and learn new things. She always has fun activities for us to do! 

English for Architectural Communications, University Student, Thailand 

 

Thank you, Tara, for being such an amazing teacher and for all your great lessons.  Tara is a very nice and kind person, that makes students feel comfortable talking with her.  She is always willing to help students that needed extra advice. Studying with Tara made me clearly understand more about being a good architect. At first, I was very confused about organising my presentation, but Tara taught me very important skills. Thank you again, Mrs. Tara, for helping to prepare me for the road ahead in life

Salomé Veriers, Engineer - France 

 

Tara  is a great teacher ! I was not very confident about my English level and Tara was able to give me the keys to be a confident speaker.  She has great listening skills and she is very empathic.  She teaches English through speaking about subjects that you are interested in. In this way learning English with Tara is never boring. You always can count on her! I recommend you to listen  her podcast to understand how much she is dedicated to help people to make progress in English. 

Pelin, Researcher - Turkey 

 

Tara's the best teacher I've ever met. She adapts the lessons to what you need very well and supports your confidence. I improved my English and I feel lucky to have met her and I highly recommend.
