LEARN CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FUNDAMENTALS

Construction project management is a field which requires managers to have a variety of skills, as well as a solid understanding of many different aspects of the construction process. Construction management spans across several major disciplines, from the design and constructability of the project, to managing the execution of the actual work, to project finances and more.

Construction management coaching allows you to speak with an experienced project manager one-on-one, and discuss exactly  which topics  you’d like to learn more about or ask any questions you have. This is not always possible in a busy workplace with limited  free time beyond managing projects.

If you’re looking to learn more about construction management basics, we can discuss some key topics to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of what they’re for, why they’re important, and how to apply this knowledge on your own projects. These topics can include:

Drawings & Specifications

Field Logistics

Construction Means and Methods

Jobsite Management & Administration

Project Scheduling

Budgeting and Invoicing

Construction Contracts

Submittals and RFIs

Documentation and Administration

Change Orders

Information Management

Ask About Past Experience

LEARN PROJECT MANAGEMENT SKILLS & TECHNIQUES

Whether you’re brand new to project management, or if you have a bit of experience and you’re looking to advance, project management coaching and mentorship can be an extremely effective way to get help and guidance in exactly which areas you wish  – something that’s not typically found in classroom or workplace settings.

Although a fair portion of Project Managers – and those on the road to become one – will begin their careers with formal education under their belt, many of the skills a Project Manager actually uses are acquired on the job. Training in this manner inevitably leads to learning some skills and lessons through real-world experience. Of course, some of these lessons are learned the hard way.

There’s nothing uncommon about learning through experience and making mistakes along the way. Believe me! What project management coaching allows you to do is drill down into the specific areas you’d like to learn more about, or areas you’re looking to improve – all while working directly with an experienced construction Project Manager who can share firsthand knowledge.

Whether you’re working in construction specifically, or will be managing projects in another field, project management coaching is a great way to get concentrated, impactful lessons and mentorship at your convenience, and in the amount of time you feel you need. Some topics we can explore together include:

Organizational Skills & Practices

Time Management

Working Efficiently

Leadership Skills

Written & Verbal Communication

Project Management Strategy

Working Well With People

Managing Project Teams

Ask About My Experiences

Discuss Mistakes & Lessons

PROFESSIONAL MINDSET & MENTAL WELLNESS

The mental side of the modern professional workplace is something every one of us can relate to, but is seldom discussed in a professional setting.

Not only does our mental approach to work have a direct impact on our job performance and overall quality of life, but the impact of what happens at work affects our lives both in and out of the workplace.

The average person spends nearly as much time at work in any given week as they do outside of the workplace! This becomes even more true in a busy profession, and can be multiplied when dealing with stress, conflicts with team members or coworkers, or difficult bosses and clients.

In short, what happens at work matters, and knowing how to navigate the workplace while keeping our performance and mental wellness in check, is a vital skill. I know this because I’ve been there myself, experiencing everything written below in some capacity:

Work-Life Balance

Mental Wellbeing

Conflict Resolution Within Teams

Working With Difficult Clients

Mentally Handling Large Workloads

Building Self-Confidence

Getting Over Certain Hurdles and Hangups

Navigating Workplace Anxiety

Staying Focused & Paying Attention

Dealing With A Difficult Boss

Handling Workplace Bullying

  • Mental Wellbeing

  • Working With Difficult Clients
  • Mentally Handling Large Workloads
  • Building Self-Confidence
  • Getting Over Certain Hurdles and Hangups
  • Navigating Workplace Anxiety
  • Staying Focused & Paying Attention
  • Dealing With A Difficult Boss
  • Handling Workplace Bullying
  • Topics of Your Choice

Whether you’re working in the construction industry, as a project manager in another field or in a different professional capacity, we can certainly talk about what is most important for you at the moment.

Although I cannot offer any legal or medical advice, I am more than happy to lend an ear, discuss specific situations you’re experiencing and offer guidance based on my own experience as well. 

CAREER PLANNING & PROFESSIONAL GOALS

The process of deciding what we want to do in the professional world can be a winding road. This process involves everything from knowing our own true passions and skills, understanding the path we must follow in order to get there, completing formal education and training, making lateral moves within our industry, switching career paths and even venturing into working for ourselves.

When trying to figure out which path we should follow, or what we should do. Having someone to bounce ideas off of and discuss your options with can be a big help when faced with uncertainty or a roadblock along the way.

Many of us also have specific professional goals we’re trying to reach, but it’s not always easy doing that on our own. Working with a professional coach can help you form a structured plan to help work towards  that goal with efficiency and effectiveness in mind.

Whichever situation you may be experiencing, I’m happy to lend an ear, act as a sounding board and give you my feedback on how to move forward.

This of course is emphasized especially for those working in construction project management, as that is my specific area of expertise.

BENEFITS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT COACHING

As a young project manager or professional on the rise, it can be tremendously helpful to speak with someone who’s been through the same experiences. Below are a few benefits to consider when it comes to project management coaching  and career-focused mentorship!

COACHING ON YOUR SCHEDULE

We all have busy schedules. Between balancing a dynamic career, the relationships in our lives, daily obligations and our well-being, it can feel impossible to find time for professional skill development, or even just to talk about our experiences!

Our 1-on-1 mentorship calls can be scheduled on a day and time that works for your schedule. We offer both 30 and 60 minute video calls, so you can decide exactly what you need.

COST EFFECTIVE EDUCATION

Formal education often serves as the foundation of our careers, and is a pre-requisite for entry-level jobs in our respective fields.

That said, how much of what we learn in school actually applies to our day-to-day work? Unfortunately, it's usually a mere fraction. Not to mention spending years of our time and a fair bit of money on this process!

Mentorship calls give us the opportunity to speak in-depth on the key skills and tasks that are required for you to succeed in your position. We can discuss both the theory behind work practices and actionable steps you can take right away.

LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCES

It's critical that we learn from our own experiences as we travel along our career path, whether you're a project manager or young professional in adjacent disciplines. The irony here is that we can only learn from our own experiences in hindsight. 

As a mentor, I'm happy to discuss experiences I may have had that are parallel to your current situation. You can learn from my years of experience - and mistakes! - in the span of a conversation.

HELP WHERE YOU NEED IT

Mentorship provides the opportunity to seek out help and guidance exactly where you feel you need it most.

We can talk about a wide variety of project management skills and techniques, while just as easily dive into soft skills, modern work life and the mental side of work as well!

TALK IN PRIVACY

Although mentorship within our organizations can certainly be valuable, workplace dynamics can make it challenging to speak freely about situations, strategies and your personal future plans.

Our mentorship calls are 100% confidential, and we can discuss any career topics that are most important to you.
