Freedom Forge Coaching Workshops

My Approach to Workshops

At the core of my workshops is one belief: real growth happens when we combine insight with action. I design every session to be practical, engaging, and tailored to the realities of the construction and design industries. With over 25 years in the field, I bring firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the challenges contractors, engineers, and executives face daily.

Here’s how I approach workshops:

1. Grounded in Real-World Experience

Every workshop is built on lessons from the job site, the boardroom, and the bid table. Whether we’re talking about leadership, constructability, or cost efficiency, my sessions are rooted in real scenarios, not theories. I bring both the contractor's and coach's perspective to the room.

2. Hands-On, Not Just Hands-Up

Workshops are interactive by design. Whether it’s a site visit, peer discussion, or group exercise, participants are encouraged to actively engage, question, and apply what they learn in real time. It’s not a lecture, it’s a working session.

3. Built Around Candid Conversation

I create space for honest dialogue, between engineers and contractors, between business owners and their peers, and even within teams. The tough questions get asked, and the right conversations happen. This is where breakthrough thinking starts.

4. Focused on Application and Action

We don’t just talk about problems, we solve them. Every session includes actionable takeaways, whether that’s a new process, a change in mindset, or a collaborative strategy. I help participants walk away with clear next steps and renewed clarity.

5. Collaborative Learning Environment

Workshops are designed to build relationships. Whether it's peer groups or cross-functional teams, I believe in the power of learning from one another. These are shared experiences that create long-lasting professional connections and elevate everyone in the room.
