The Secret to Making an Impact in AEC (Even If Your Boss Hates It)

In this episode of KP Unpacked, we dive into one of the biggest mindset shifts that can define your career: Are you high agency?

Host Jeff Echols sits down with Abby Coleman, a rising force in AEC and an Innovation XR Specialist at IMEG, to unpack KP Reddy’s latest Sunday Scaries article: Are You High Agency? What About Your Team? They explore why some professionals take ownership, push boundaries, and disrupt industries—while others settle into the status quo.

They discuss:

🔹 What it really means to be a ‘high agency’ innovator
🔹 Why AEC firms struggle with change (and how to break that cycle)
🔹 How VR is shaking up real estate and design decision-making
🔹 The hidden career opportunities for those who embrace disruption
🔹 Why surrounding yourself with ambitious people is the key to growth

Plus, Abby shares how she’s using virtual reality to accelerate decision-making in AEC and why she believes high agency thinking is the missing piece for innovation in the built world. If you want to future-proof your career and make an impact, this episode is a must-listen.
