Jason Boyle - Architect, Mentor and Fellow of the RIBA

Architecture mentoring is not just having someone senior tell you to work harder. Good mentoring helps you understand options, judgement and timing.

Stephen Drew speaks with Jason Boyle about architecture mentoring, nuclear architecture, mindset, technology, networking, social media, charging for your work, setting fees, financial viability, professional growth and balancing passion with stability.

The conversation covers:

• Why mentoring can help students and professionals read the wider profession
• How fees, self-worth and commercial viability affect architecture careers
• What technology and social media can add to mentoring relationships
• Why financial stability and passion need to be discussed together
• How professional guidance can make career decisions less isolated
