Future sessions are still being finalized but may include topics on self-leadership, leading high-performing teams, project management, personal branding, and more!

Raising the Bar on Client Relationships: From Technical Expert to Trusted Partner

Most projects don’t fail because of design - they fail because trust breaks down. Technical excellence gets you in the room; trust determines whether you stay there long term.
In an environment where clients face increasing pressure, uncertainty, and complexity, technical expertise alone is no longer enough to earn loyalty. The architects who stand out are the ones who go beyond the scope to truly understand their clients’ goals, concerns, and business drivers - and deliver in a way that builds lasting trust. Clients rarely leave because of design mistakes; they leave when they don’t feel seen and heard.

Join Corey Campbell, Executive Performance Coach and CEO & Founder of Akamai Training & Consulting, for this interactive session exploring how the most important work of an architect often happens before the first drawing is ever created. Participants will examine their current approach and explore how to raise the bar on client interactions - leading projects as trusted partners, not just technical experts.

Through real-world examples and reflective dialogue, participants will:

Learn how to go beyond scope and deliverables to understand a client’s true goals, pressures, and business drivers.
Examine methods to uncover what truly matters to clients and help them feel seen, heard, and understood.
Explore how leadership presence and ownership influence client confidence, loyalty, and team performance.
Reframe project management as people management - taking ownership of relationships, communication, and outcomes.

Come ready to reflect, engage, and elevate how you build trust - with clients, teams, and yourself as a leader.
