Brent Darnell interview with Engineering News-Record
In the construction, engineering, architecture industry there are many people with excellent technical skills. Where they usually get off-track are with their people, relationship, communication and teamwork skills.
We have found that stress and burnout to be epidemic in these industries, so our programs address the “people side” of the equation as well as a mental and physical peak performance aspect.
Our emotional intelligence training program will help to increase their performance with courses on stress management, time management, and innovation and creativity.
They will discover how to solve major industry and company issues plus learn how to attract and retain the best people, how to create safety programs that actually work, how to create a more diverse and inclusive work environment, and how to be better marketers and make their competition irrelevant.

“Having Brent work with our company changed our organization from the inside out. He helped us establish a vocabulary across our organization that enabled seasoned (and hardened) superintendents to relate better to their teams and their clients. Brent showed our people that it’s okay to have feelings and even more okay to respect other people’s feelings. We still have a lot of work to do but we now have individual plans to help us become better employees and better people.”
