BEAT WORKSHOPS
The BEAT Workshop Series was created to focus on offering coaching for soft skills required for the profession, to empower and enable participants to reach their full potential. The format of the Workshops is a seminar led by an industry expert or professional advisor. Past workshops have included topics such as Burnout & Mental Health, 10 Habits of Effective Communicators, Establishing your Digital Footprint, and Buillding an Inclusive Culture for Creative Businesses.
BEAToronto is a volunteer-run organization made up of architects, designers, leaders, and entrepreneurs creating opportunities for community-building, advocacy, networking, and mentorship. We believe that empowering women in the design community improves and enriches the practice of architecture, the quality of the built environment, and ultimately, the human experience.
We are honoured to have Emilie McIver host the BEAT Workshop session on Wednesday, May 13th, 2026 at the Diamond Schmitt Architects Office.
