Don't just talk. Speak On Purpose - Women in Architecture (WIA) — Lunch & Learn

Architecting for Innovation × Women in Architecture (WIA) Australia — Lunch & Learn

Don't just talk. Speak On Purpose.

Featuring Sharyn Doolan

Effective architecture isn't just about the solution, the business model or the roadmap. It relies on being communicated well to turn plans into reality.
In this Lunch & Learn, our special guest Sharyn Doolan will share practical techniques for speaking with purpose, engaging stakeholders and presenting complex ideas with clarity and impact.

We'll explore:

• Speaking with purpose: knowing what you want your audience to think, feel and do
• Engaging stakeholders: connecting with the people your architecture depends on
• Presenting complex ideas: bringing clarity and impact to technical content

Join us to explore how purposeful communication can enhance your influence and the impact of your work.

This session is part of the Women in Architecture (WIA) Australia series. All welcome.
