Leverage Experience, Unlock Opportunity: Interview with Doug King

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

The people who make real impact don’t wait for permission, they trust their gut, take the risks others are afraid of, and pivot fast when things change. In this episode, you'll hear from one of them. Doug King shares his template for identifying as the expert you want to be.

1. Bet on your intuition to take the right risks. Double down by adapting and changing with circumstances as they unfold.
2. Cross-pollinate your passions—even the ones that don’t “belong” in your profession—and use them to disrupt the status quo. .
3. Make opportunities out of what you are currently assigned by bringing fresh thinking to even mundane or perfunctory tasks
4. Steal the magic from your favorite projects and apply it where no one sees it coming.
5. Keep learning new things and sharing new ideas. Every opportunity to learn is also one to teach.
6. Find passive mentors by watching how the best do it—and then outdoing them.
