Highest Expertise?

Why is the URL https://highestexpertise.com/? I’m currently a fan of the goal of operating at our highest level of expertise and encouraging the same in others. Especially when it relates to our passions. Wouldn’t it be great if we all interacted with one another at our highest level of usefulness? Synergy!

Why this Blog?

We often don’t prioritize the ‘business of design’ in our professional growth. Mentoring, communication, profit strategies, setting expectations, and more – I’m trying to write on these subjects from the perspective of a landscape architect as a businessperson. A long-term goal of mine is a 100 Conversations project where I take the time to reach out to people, hear about their career challenges, and then distill them through my lens. Maybe one of the most important things in our lives after design school is realizing we aren’t crazy or alone in what we experience; we just haven’t talked about it with someone else yet. My goal is to try to foster these conversations.

This blog is just a contemplation of mine to perhaps work through my thoughts on professional growth, business, and similar. More for me than anyone else… but I’ve found that sharing is useful, as it reminds us we’re not alone and that others are sharing similar things. We just don’t know that. I’d appreciate you commenting with any similar thoughts on your part, or things that you might be hoping for validation that others go through the same things?
