Morgan is dedicated to helping architects and design professionals create more IMPACT and more INCOME. Through her specialized coaching, Morgan has successfully guided architects to secure job offers with salaries up to $70,000 above their current earnings, negotiate maternity leaves where none were previously available, and achieve 32-hour work weeks. With a focus on strategic negotiation and work-life balance, she empowers her clients to thrive both personally and professionally.
With over a decade in the architecture industry, Morgan knows firsthand the challenges of balancing ambition and well-being. As an overachiever, she experienced burnout herself, igniting her mission to revolutionize the field and empower architects to design healthier relationships with their careers.
Her programs focus on three holistic pillars: mindset health, time health, and financial health. Morgan challenges architects to rethink and un-normalize outdated industry mindsets, encouraging them to prioritize well-being while achieving sustainable career success.
Through her evidence-based coaching, architects worldwide have learned how to reduce stress, prevent burnout, negotiate higher raises, secure maternity leaves, and achieve reduced hours—all while thriving in their careers.
