Building Up Leaders in Construction

May 2022:

Since 2017, Barefoot Facilitation has been proud to facilitate the Leadership Excellence Program for the Construction Association of Nova Scotia (CANS). Last Fall, Barefoot Facilitation delivered the Leadership Excellence Program for frontline leaders at Pomerleau (Atlantic), with outstanding results.
In a recent spotlight by CANS, Pomerleau Regional Vice President – Atlantic Canada, Lorin Robar shared some insights into their perspective of the program:

“the focus on soft skill development at Pomerleau is designed around the ability to help employees build and foster stronger relationships. CANS Leadership Excellence Program was tailored to meet these needs.” – Lorin Robar
Participant feedback noted not only a strong development in leadership knowledge, but sharpened capabilities that go hand in hand in building strong leadership qualities. There was immediate, noticeable impact from staff who attended the course in their ability to step up, communicate and handle challenging tasks or scenarios.

“There has been a notable impact on the way our team is now able to handle difficult situations and conflict management approaches have changed.” – Lorin Robar

Barefoot Facilitation would like to congratulate the graduates of the Program, and are thrilled to see efforts of their learning bringing forward immediate results to their team. Barefoot Facilitation has worked with multiple cohorts of the Leadership Excellence Program in partnership with CANS to help build future leaders across multiple organizations within the construction industry. We look forward to continuing to build leaders moving forward!
