SUMMARY:Autodesk Revit Exploring the Essentials
DESCRIPTION:$325 per person | 8 CPC/CEU credits \nThe design world has made the shift to BIM\, and working in 3D systems like Autodesk Revit is vital to every firm’s growth\, and every designer’s career. The problem is\, that many folks have been thrown into the Revit world with no more than a quick overview\, and in many cases a “figure it out as you go” directive from above. Understanding the basic concepts\, controls\, and features of Revit is vital. Even those who’ve been working in Revit for a while often don’t know about\, or fully understand\, some of the basic concepts needed in order to be productive. From initial project setup\, through basic views\, annotations\, and working with linked Models this class is a must for every Revit user out there. This class will help you\, and your firm\, comfortably make the move from out-of-date 2D CAD work to the world of 3D BIM in Revit\, making you confident in your understanding and capabilities. \nThis eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4)\, two-hour long sessions that students can attend online\, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions\, and address questions as the class progresses. \nNote: Instructor will present using Autodesk Revit 2022. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version. \nRecording: Registrants for this course will receive access to a recording of each session for 48 consecutive hours. Access will start the next business day after the session ends. \nMust attend all four sessions. \nSession 1: Understanding the Basics \n\nStarting a Project\nUnderstanding the User Interface\nView Controls\nLevels and Grids\nCreating Views – Sections & Elevations\n\nSession 2: File Linking and Visibility Graphics \n\nUnderstanding Linked Models\nObject Styles and Visibility Graphics\nDetail Levels\nView Range\nView Templates\n\nSession 3: Model Objects \n\nParameter Types\nCreating System Families\nLoading Component Families\nModify Tools\n\nSession 4: Annotations & Schedules \n\nCreating Detail & Drafting Views\nText Annotation\nDimensions\nTags and Schedules\nCreating Sheets

SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Development Series 3
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday\, March 9th\, March 23rd\, April 6th & April 20th from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Driving Success Through Business Development (March 23\, 2022) \nHave you worked hard throughout your career but still find yourself struggling to get the results you thought you’d get? Does it feel like growing a successful\, profitable business is just out of reach? This workshop will teach you simple\, proven methods to increase your profits without increasing your hours spent at work. We will also share Paramount’s ‘5 Way Power Play’ to start increasing your profits NOW! \nSession 2: Team Performance (April 6\, 2022) \nTeam performance is a critical element of what makes or breaks a business. Often managers can be so focused on the mechanics of the business that they forget the people behind it are what’s driving everything. As a leader\, you want to maximize team performance. But how do you do that? Team performance depends on several factors but fortunately\, many of them are within your control. This workshop will show you how to reach that maximum impact within your business. \nSession 3: High Performance Culture (April 20\, 2022) \n“Take care of your people and they will take care of your customers.” Unfortunately\, this statement is easier said than done. It takes a very strong leader to develop and communicate on a daily basis to employees the “big picture” of where the company is headed and why that is beneficial from the employee’s perspective.  Team members will never create your desired culture if they don’t even know what you expect of them. Do you know what type of company culture you have? Do you want to learn the secrets of creating a healthy\, competitive culture? Join us for this 4-hour workshop! \nSession 4: Managing Work/Life Balance (May 4\, 2022) \nSadly\, there have been times where work takes precedence over everything else in our lives. Our desire to succeed professionally can push our own well-being to the back burner. Creating a harmonious work-life balance is critical for not only you\, but your career as well. Employers who are committed to providing this type of environment for their employees save on costs\, absenteeism\, and enjoy a more loyal and productive workforce. This workshop will give you tips and strategies to find that equilibrium and achieve balance at work and in your personal life. \nThis seminar will be hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Solutions \n

As awesome as these strategies sound\, they rarely work out. But wait! There’s good news! The secret to growing your business is very likely right under your nose. In fact\, we have found that most businesses obliviously leave a percentage of their current revenues on the table every year. This workshop will show you a proven sales methodology that will not only bring in new customers but create repeat business for years to come. \n  \nSession 2: Understanding Your Numbers (January 26\, 2022) \nAre you confused by your financial statements? Do you have trouble recognizing what they are telling you? This workshop will help you quickly master the fundamentals and develop a comprehensive understanding of how they work\, how to interpret them accurately\, and how to use their information to make more effective\, better-informed business decisions that have a positive impact on your organization’s bottom line. You will also learn the importance of a dashboard and how to easily set one up for your company. \n  \nSession 3: Personal Performance (February 9\, 2022) \nCritical thinking is a lost art. Whether you are refining operations\, evaluating strategic plans\, or brainstorming better ways to assist customers\, businesses with the best ideas come out on top. This workshop will teach you how to recognize key mistakes that company leaders make which undermine their effectiveness at running and growing a company.  You will also walk away with tips that you can implement immediately to improve your personal performance and help you reach your full potential to build an amazing team.  If YOU want to build an amazing team\, it starts with YOU! \n  \nSession 4: What is Your USP? & Communication (February 23\, 2022) \nAre you tired of feeling invisible in your field\, of not being recognized for your talents and expertise? Are you losing potential customers to your competitors solely because your prices are higher? Many professionals have felt the same way and decided to do something about it. The answer lies in the strength and value of your USP. This workshop will teach you the art and science of identifying what sets you apart and turning that into a brand that will make you more valuable and memorable than others in your field. \nThis Seminar is Hosted by ABC Member Paramount Business Development
