How do you overcome the FEAR of speaking up?

Show Notes

Do you go into meetings feeling stressed and anxious about the thought of someone asking you a question? 

Do you leave wishing you had just plucked up the courage to say what you needed? It's time to start showing up authentically with confidence and intention so you can start to make the impact you really want instead of hiding in the corner. 

Stephen Drew and Tara Cull are excited to be back again with Emma Wainer from Speaking at Work to discuss preparing for meetings and challenging conversations. 

We’ll discuss tips and strategies for preparing and how to use reflection and evaluation to learn from setbacks. 

We want you to walk away feeling like what you thought was impossible is absolutely achievable.

Stephen Drew

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers. I’m here to connect you with insights, tools, and opportunities that lead to meaningful growth, whether you’re just starting out or ready to take that next big step.

What is Architecture Social?

It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.

Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.

Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.

No fluff, just the reality of practice.
