Start with Self. Connect with Others. Enhance Teamwork. Influence Change.

These elements are woven together throughout the Dale Carnegie Course®, enhancing both the mental change and the behavior change needed to achieve your goals and affect performance change within your organization and beyond.

Start with Self: Every change begins with the self. Deepening our understanding of our natural tendencies as humans and our need for belonging helps clarify why it takes active work by each of us to change. Gaining insight into our attitudes, opinions and thoughts helps us identify and confront our fears. Building our resilience and self-confidence enables us to engage in honest exchanges with ourselves and others. As we gain empathy, we develop a genuine desire to create environment of trust. To accomplish this, this course addresses the following session objectives:

-Discover how past experiences influence behavior

-Recognize the impact negative stress has on our results and effectiveness

-Commit to using concepts and principles to increase our ability to control stress and worry

-Strengthen our personal opinions

-Learn from others how to confront our fears

-Recognize that we can triumph over adversity

-Apply the power of risk-taking

-Become more open-minded to change and opportunity

-Familiarity with the principles for improving human relations

-A focus on people as individuals

-The need to create a positive first impression

-Use methods to recall names

-Identify opportunities for improving professional relationships

-Influence people through trust and respect

Enhance Teamwork: Strong skills for creating accountability and gaining cooperation helps ensure that people are prepared to speak up, communicate persuasively, look for common ground, discuss difficult topics on which they may disagree, identify when trust is broken and restore it successfully. See how consistent application of the Human Relations Principles improves results. These session objectives help make that happen:

-Persuasively communicate in a clear and concise way that moves people to action

-Communicate with strong and powerful feelings

-Connect with others on an emotional level

-Inspire others to think and act differently

-Positively influence the attitudes of others

-Use positive approaches when coaching people

What You Can Expect During the Course

Expect Thoroughly Trained Trainers: The participants in the Dale Carnegie Course® are made up of both formal and informal leaders. Psychological Safety is emphasized to create a safe place to try out new skills and ideas. The trainers are highly vetted and undergo an intense training that is ISO9002 certified to achieve consistent results globally. While part of a global organization, they are connected to your local culture, customs and language.

Expect Breakthroughs: Each time a new skill is introduced, it is practiced the ‘right’ way and coached in the moment before moving it out into your life and work. Once a skill has been tested with clients, team members and others, the group holds itself accountable by reporting back on what did or did not work. This social learning approach makes it possible for everyone to learn from each other’s efforts. By experiencing a series of successful attempts with positive reinforcement, habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained.

How it will help you

You will be more equipped to tackle complex challenges, expand your ingenuity, and excel in building team harmony. Use your new skills to achieve measurable results, securing your place as a valued contributor. As you become more adept at influencing, you’ll find yourself inspiring others to take initiative and innovate. The time has come to start leading now!

Who Should Attend

Professionals at all levels who wish to optimize their performance, lead with conviction and positively impact the bottom line.

Duration

8 Session: This is the standard program and all versions are developed from this option. This is delivered in person with 8 in-person sessions. Select locations also offer Awareness and Sustainment Sessions online.

3 Day: This is an intense immersion experience held in 3 in-person days.

Delay and Disruption Claims, 1 Hr Webinar 1/26/2022 9:00 AM - 1/26/2022 10:00 AM

Fri, 10 Dec 2021 10:10:57 GMT

•Delay and disruption claims are always a risk in the best conditions on a construction site. Never more so than during the global pandemic brought about by COVID-19 and related labor and material disruptions.

•Depending on the specific contractual terms and the impact COVID-19 and related governmental orders have had on a specific project, this pandemic may be considered a force majeure, delay, change in law, suspension and/or other applicable event.

•Subcontractors should be aware of these clauses in their subcontract and in the prime contract in order to be able to use these clauses or other legal defenses under applicable law to attempt to excuse their late completion of projects that are delayed or interfered with due to COVID-19’s unforeseeable events, and to possibly bring claims for delay and/or disruption due to increased costs caused by COVID-19 or other unforeseen or unanticipated events.

•Owners and general contractors may be entitled to damages against subcontractors caused by long delays and disruption and subcontractors should be aware of defenses or counterclaims that subcontractors may raise, including, subcontractor claims that the owner and/or general contractor caused or exacerbated delays or disruptions.

This presentation will provide an overview of key issues to being successful in pursuing or defending against claims related to delay and disruption, especially in light of the difficulties caused by COVID-19, and how to best document and position claims and defenses to maximize the chances of success.
