emotional intelligence

  • This course helps participants better understand their emotions, manage stress and reactions, and work more effectively with others. Through discussion, reflection, and practical tools, participants explore how emotions influence behavior, communication, and relationships at work. The workshop focuses on four key areas of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Participants learn how to recognize emotional patterns, respond thoughtfully under pressure, read social cues, and communicate with greater empathy and clarity. By the end of the session, participants leave with practical strategies to improve self-control, strengthen relationships, handle conflict more effectively, and show up with greater intention and confidence in their day-to-day interactions.

Journey Mapping: The Strategic Tool Every Construction Brand Needs

  • Many construction and building-related businesses invest in marketing without a clear understanding of how customers actually move from first touch to signed contract. In this 60-minute training, Allison Minutillo from Maestra, will show you how to build a simple, clear customer journey map that reflects reality, not theory. You’ll learn the core principles of journey mapping, why it matters for construction businesses, and how to back it up with real data. We’ll cover how to map your full customer journey, apply conversion rates from one stage to the next, and use that information to identify where the real problems are. You may discover an awareness issue, a value proposition gap, or a breakdown in closing. Once you understand your entire journey, your marketing priorities become clearer. You can decide whether social media deserves focus and excellence, or whether your efforts are better spent fixing another part of the journey first.

Building a Rotational Program

  • In a competitive talent market, simply hiring Project Engineers isn't enough; we must intentionally bridge the gap between their education and the complex reality of the field. While an internship provides a "snapshot," a formal Rotational Program is a high-intensity commitment to developing a well-rounded understanding of all aspects of the Construction industry. This course provides the strategic roadmap to move beyond "learning-by-doing" and into a structured ecosystem of Estimating, Project Management, and Field Operations. By mastering the operational timeline, from university recruitment to the graduation ceremony, you will learn how to turn entry-level graduates into the long-term backbone of our firm.
