SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Development Series 1
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday November 3rd\,  November 17th\, December 1st\, & December 15th from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Leader’s Right Mindset (November 3\, 2021) \nMany people believe that being the owner\, boss or holding some sort of management position is what defines leadership. Paramount Business Development\, Inc. KNOWS this is totally false. True leadership is hard\, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is a slow and steady process that happens over years and years of practice and it all starts with little habits. Join us for a morning to discover the 7 habits of highly effective leaders that you can start practicing today that will help you become the leader you want to be tomorrow. \n  \nSession 2: Communicating Simply & Effectively (November 17\, 2021) \nWorkplace communication is crucial to companies because it enables them to be productive and operate effectively. When a company can communicate correctly\, employees can experience an increase in morale\, productivity\, and commitment. How well do you communicate with your team? More importantly\, how often do you communicate with your team? Join us as we discuss real life examples of communication problems in companies and how you can better lead your team to success. \n  \nSession 3: When Things Go Awry?! (December 1\, 2021) \nWe’ve discussed how crucial workplace communication is to a company\, but what happens when things go wrong? Not all problems can be anticipated or resolved. People are complicated and there’s no owner’s manuals. This workshop will review communication strategies\, discuss real life conflicts within organizations\, and present several effective strategies to handle those conflicts. \n  \nSession 4: Managing Overwhelm (December 15\, 2021) \nAre you feeling pressured by deadlines?  Is there never enough time in the day?  Are you working longer and longer hours\, while getting further behind? Win your time back in this 4-hour workshop where we will show you how to master your use of time\, complete your most critical tasks\, and overcome that constant feeling of being overwhelmed. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:Understanding Vaccines In The Workplace To Protect Your Business
DESCRIPTION:The public/private partnership between the US government and some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers has resulted in multiple COVID-19 vaccinations. Now questions arise around the employer’s responsibilities when it comes to encouraging\, or even requiring\, employee vaccination. Is a mandate even possible? What about reasonable accommodations? What about liability if an employee has a negative reaction to the vaccine? Or\, what about liability if I don’t require it? How do you navigate a situation that is updating in real-time and do so in a way that protects your employees\, your customers and the long-term health of your business? \nJoin Insperity’s local HR and Safety experts for an important session that will unpack the most recent governmental guidance and explore some of the potential pitfalls associated with this evolving topic.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Equipment Management to Mature your Processes\, Impact ALL your Teams and Improve the Bottom Line
DESCRIPTION:Up to this point\, contractors have struggled with seeing real gains and value using construction tech and for good\, data-backed reasons. Equipment management tech\, however\, is a new type of construction tech that brings value to construction businesses in three major ways.

As businesses move into the next phase of 2021\, now is the time to seek out and seize the opportunities emerging in the recovery. \nOne of the many things that business leaders are struggling with is hiring and retaining.

SUMMARY:Effective Delegation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:TARGET AUDIENCE:  Mid-level Managers and up \nHow many times have you done a task yourself because you thought you could get it done quicker and more efficiently than anyone else? Even if you could get it done quicker\, all the time you are spending doing jobs that other people could be doing is time that you are not running your business. Every time you allow yourself to get bogged down in simple details that your employees could be working on\, you are not being an effective leader. The main person in your company who will be truly motivated to grow your company is YOU. Every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated to someone else is a minute that you are not planning\, strategizing\, and building the best business possible. This workshop will discuss effective delegation strategies that you can implement today so you can get back to the most crucial tasks. \n  \nSeminar Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development

SUMMARY:OCIP/CCIP/SDI Seminar
DESCRIPTION:ABC Member Davis Bucco Makara & Dorsey & Construction Risk Partners will be hosting a seminar on Owner Controlled Insurance Program/Contractor Controlled Insurance Program/Subcontractor Default Insurance \nInsurance coverage is as essential as having qualified labor and equipment to perform a construction project.  Sometimes this insurance is offered through Owner Controlled or Contractor Controlled insurance Programs.  These can provide benefits but also anticipated risks for program participants.  This course will discuss the mechanic’s of these programs\, how they are managed\, and what legal risks they do and do not cover.  This course will also examine the growing use of Subcontractor Default Insurance as an alternative to bonding projects.  SDI can provide an important avenue of recovery when enrolled subcontractors default\, while also creating broader opportunities for non-bondable subcontractors to participate in larger projects.
