On today’s episode of Architectette we feature Maya Sharfi.
Maya is the founder of Build Yourself Workshop where she helps women in design, technology, and innovation rise and subsequently thrive in senior roles. Her clients have landed executive positions, launched innovative initiatives, and achieved salary increases. She also helps companies make their organizations better places for women to flourish.
Maya was a former Harvard Innovation Lab resident and was featured as a 40 Under 40 honoree by Impact Design Hub. She loves graphic nonfiction, the color yellow, and reading to her daughter.
We talk about:
- Maya’s start in landscape architecture, the realization of her coaching expertise, and how she established her business with a focus on elevating women in architecture
- Maya’s framework for career advancement which is focused on her 5-step framework which helps women position themselves for a future principal or partner role
- Asking for a promotion, making it rain, signs it’s time to leave a company, skills for networking, imposter syndrome, and self-advocacy
