How Your Teams' Communication Impacts Profits

School construction is a huge revenue source for many of my A/E/C clients.

You don't have to design and build schools to know the value of learning.

Taking time to develop new skills to grow your firm is a no-brainer.

Consider networking, for example.

Many of my coaching clients tell me they go to industry events without an intention or introduction.

They say they stink at small talk.

You can guess what happens next.

They return to the office feeling unproductive and overwhelmed.

You could have, would have, or should have been working on a bid package. Maybe you could have finalized new sub schedules.

Project managers, supervisors, estimators, and others I coach are fortunate that principals know communication directly impacts profits.

How I Made $18,000 on Clubhouse — and How You Can, Too

Smitten.
 
It’s a word I use when I talk about my husband.
 
And Clubhouse.
 
I joined Clubhouse in January. I quickly fell in love with it. It’s audio-only so it’s perfectly in line with my style.
 
Maybe it’s because it’s easy—no on-camera video or long written posts.
 
Anyway, when I speak on Clubhouse, my delivery, style, and vibe attract people.
Many listen. Some hire me.
 
That’s right. I’ve generated 💰 $18,000 💰in revenue from Clubhouse, and you can, too.
 
Simply by knowing how to talk about yourself in a concise, helpful, and personable way so people want to connect with you.
 
 Here's the secret:
 
You don’t have to share all the details of your life and career. You just have to share the right ones at the right moment.
 
After finding my way around Clubhouse in those first few weeks, I quickly learned how to share my knowledge,...
