Join the AIA Colorado Business of Architecture Committee for an engaging conversation on one of the most important — and often least formally taught — leadership skills in practice: people management.

Whether you lead a firm, manage a team, or are stepping into a leadership role, Elevating People Management will explore how intentional management practices can strengthen culture, improve engagement, and help teams perform at their best. This interactive workshop moves beyond theory to focus on practical, real-world approaches for creating workplaces where people feel connected, supported, and motivated to grow.

Through facilitated discussion, reflection, and hands-on exercises, participants will practice tools for more effective communication and employee support, including a practical framework for conducting meaningful one-on-one check-ins. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies they can immediately apply within their firms and teams.

Come ready to share experiences, exchange ideas with peers across the industry, and gain fresh perspective on how strong leadership can elevate both people and practice.

Mary Cipollone of Big Onion Partnerships will be assisting our discussion.
