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

SUMMARY:Cyber Security & Information Privacy
DESCRIPTION:Construction Industry Best Practices \nRecent IT advances and events have resulted in increased cyber related incidents and information privacy concerns. Consequently\, there is a higher level of operational\, legal and compliance requirements to reduce risks from such attacks. Given limited internal resources by many firms and an increasing variety of solutions on the market\, it has become a challenge for many construction and contracting executives to handle their cyber security and information privacy related risks in an actionable\, pragmatic and cost effective manner. \nJoin us for an educational event that will assist you in developing your organization’s high level cyber security and information privacy risk profile and provide steps that can be taken to address such risks. \n  \nAgenda items include: \nUpdate on latest cyber and privacy related developments \nInteractive exercise assessing your company’s high level risks \nOverview of establishing a practical approach addressing your risks \nQ & A \n  \nFacilitator: \nSassan S. Hejazi\, Director-in-Charge\, Technology Solutions\, Kreischer Miller\, ABC Eastern PA Member. \nSassan has worked with numerous construction and contracting firms in the region in areas of IT planning\, financial/ERP and cyber and information security readiness advisory services. Sassan’s consulting focus ensures executives select\, design\, deploy\, and manage IT-solutions that are most suitable to satisfy their strategic objectives. \nSassan has published a book on the effective use of IT by managers called Tech Savvy Manager. This book is intended to provide managers with simple and effective strategies they can put into action to harness the power of IT for competitive advantage.

SUMMARY:Executive Leadership Development Series 2
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 week course that will be held on Wednesday\, January 12th\, January 26th\, February 9th\, & February 23rd from 8:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. \nSession 1: Customer Service & Sales (January 12\, 2022) \nMost business owners are looking for the latest marketing strategy\, a new source of leads\, or a fairy-tale salesperson who is going to come in and turn all the prospects into customers without breaking a sweat. 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?

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
