Leadership + Talent?

Christchurch is full of opportunities, of that there is no doubt. 
 
For the ambitious Architect, there are normally two future options:
 
1. Set up your own shingle;and with it carry the risks, costs, trying to balance learning the new skills, marketing and doing the work. 

It can be a lot to risk and the downsides can be too much if, like many of us, you have dependents, mortgages, limited funds and time.
 
2. Stay doing what you are doing.  Perhaps you have a cosy job which is just good enough to stop you throwing in the towel.
 
Where does the future lie along this path?  Regret?
 
What if there was a third option?
 
What if you could bring your talent, experience and personality and add it to the capacity, reputation and support from a major player in the industry.
 
What better opportunity to accelerate your future plans?
 
Here, you have a rare opportunity to control your own destiny right here in the Garden City.
 
Maximise the upside, minimise the downside, then have fun getting there.
