Stop Chasing Work. Start Choosing It. (OSS Workshop)
A 2.5-hour, in-person, nature-based workshop to help AEC professionals reconnect to their “why” and translate it into clear, values-aligned business development strategy.
A business development workshop for AEC professionals
This session is for AEC professionals who influence growth—emerging leaders, project managers, and principals—who want to feel confident about what they’re pursuing, how they’re showing up, and why it matters.
You’ll learn and apply the ROOT Method—Reflect, Organize, Outreach, Tend—a foundational, repeatable design process for building the right relationships, showing up with clarity, and turning authentic connection into steady work.
What you’ll walk away with
- A clear, values-based point of view for the work you want more of (and what you’re done tolerating)
- A focused relationship strategy—who to build with, why it matters, and how to prioritize
- Simple systems for visibility, outreach, follow-up, and stewardship that you can sustain
The ROOT Method to Relationship-First Business Development
1) REFLECT — Choose your direction
Get clear on what matters most, what kind of work energizes you, and what you want your career/practice to stand for—so every relationship decision has a purpose.
2) ORGANIZE — Build the engine
Create lightweight, repeatable systems for relationship-building: outreach rhythms, follow-up, stewardship, and tracking—without turning your life into a CRM.
3) OUTREACH — Build the right relationships (on purpose)
Turn clarity + systems into strategic action: strengthen key relationships, start new ones, and pursue the right opportunities with confidence, consistency, and integrity.
4) TEND — Nurture your relationships
Take the time to be thoughtful and creative. Show up in ways that are meaningful and unexpected. Show them you care.
Who it’s for
AEC professionals who want to grow—without losing themselves in the process.
Don’t wait for the right work to “fall into your lap.”
If you want a career and practice you’re proud of, you have to make intentional moves—now.
