Why LeaderFlow
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, collectively has lacked accessible leadership development for mid-career professionals, limiting career growth and representation at the highest levels. LeaderFlow was created to fill this gap, providing a psychologically safe space for architects, engineers, and construction professionals to connect, learn, and grow. Our transformative seven-month program has empowered over 150 AEC professionals across five cities, equipping them with the skills and support needed to advance their careers and strengthen leadership across the industry.
LeaderFlow, Inc. was created as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to address this gap by providing a leadership development program that empowers mid-career professionals to thrive and excel in their careers, ultimately strengthening leadership across the AEC industry.

Why LeaderFlow
What makes LeaderFlow different?
We focus our recruiting efforts primarily on professionals of color that will make up a cohort of 12-15 participants from within the same city, but preferably not from the same company. We found that through our inaugural leadership development program, this blend of participants helped to create more authentic and vulnerable conversations as the emerging leaders can openly discuss their experiences and perspectives in a safe space without directly challenging their co-workers or firm leaders.

Our Mission
To accelerate the pipeline to leadership primarily for professionals of color in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

Janiece Williams
Co-Founder & Executive Director of LeaderFlow
Janiece Williams is trained as an architectural designer and one of the original cohort participants from the 2021 pilot program. With over 10 years of architecture experience, she developed a strong desire to help developing professionals as they navigate the architecture industry. This passion led her to committing more of her time to justice, diversity, equity, & inclusion related causes and initiatives. The impact of the pilot program led her to co-launch LeaderFlow to encourage others, especially professionals of color, to invest time in their own personal growth and development, and empower them to become great leaders.
