Winning work in construction takes more than relationships and good instincts. This 12-week program is designed to help construction professionals strengthen the way they prospect, qualify opportunities, communicate value, navigate objections and build long-term client relationships. This is more than a webinar. Participants will work through the material each week, apply it directly to their own sales responsibilities and then join live virtual coaching to ask questions, work through challenges and put the concepts into practice.
Enrollment is limited to 12 participants to create a more personalized coaching experience and allow for meaningful discussion, individual questions and real-world application.
Each week includes:

Who Should Attend:
Construction leaders are being asked to lead in a different era. The skills that made them successful – technical excellence, hustle, problem-solving, loyalty, and execution – are still valuable, but they are no longer enough.
The Executive Leadership Intensive: Lead with Confidence is a two-day, action-oriented program for construction executives, owners, and senior leaders who want to lead with greater confidence, think more strategically, and execute on what matters most. Participants will step back from day-to-day demands, examine how they lead under pressure, and build a practical execution plan they can immediately use with their teams and organizations.
Details: This two-day intensive includes instructor-led discussion, executive-level reflection, peer conversation, and hands-on planning. Lunch and refreshments are included. Participants will explore how leadership is changing in the construction industry and what it takes to lead effectively through uncertainty, growth, technology-driven change, and increasing organizational complexity.
What You Will Learn:
Each participant will leave with greater clarity about the leader they need to become, four strategic goals, one focused execution plan, and a practical rhythm for turning priorities into action.

The Construction Owner Legacy Planning Series
Preparing for succession, sale, and life beyond ownership
Who Should Attend:
Whether you are thinking about transitioning your construction business in the next few years or know succession is still 10 years away, the best time to start planning is before you need the plan. Succession planning is more than preparing for a sale. It is about strengthening the business, protecting your people, clarifying your options, and building a future that reflects the years of work you have invested. This four-part webinar series helps business owners examine their motivation for transition, evaluate business readiness, understand how a sale or succession process may work, and identify the priorities that matter most, including leadership, culture, reputation, value, and life after ownership. Participants will leave with practical questions, worksheets, and next steps to begin building a thoughtful transition plan that supports the owner, the business, and the people who depend on it.
Details: This 4-part webinar series is ideal for construction business owners, partners, and senior leaders who want to prepare for the future of their company before a transition becomes urgent. Whether you are exploring a future sale, considering family or internal succession, developing your leadership team, or simply trying to understand what makes a business transferable and valuable, this program will help you ask the right questions and begin building a practical path forward.
When: September 30, October 7, 14, & 21, 2026, 3:00p.m.–4:00 p.m.
Where: Virtual, via Zoom
Instructor: John Schwab
Registration Fee: $199
