Inspiring Sessions to Motivate Your Team

MCAA25 will feature a series of engaging and highly relevant sessions designed to provide real-world solutions to the challenges mechanical construction, service and plumbing professionals face every day. Highlights include:

Becoming a Data-Enhanced Contractor

Jeff Sample, Jeff Elwell, and Will McManus will explore how family-owned contracting businesses can evolve by adopting a data-driven approach to business management. The discussion will focus on the importance of developing a comprehensive data strategy to thrive in today’s competitive construction environment. Moving beyond traditional concerns like low margins and labor management, the session will highlight how effectively managing project data, utilizing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and enhancing productivity can significantly improve business operations, ultimately driving growth and success in the modern contracting landscape.

STUCK HAPPENS! – Rethinking Leadership and Moving Beyond Stuck to Create the Story You Want Told

Steve Thomas will address how individuals, teams, and organizations often reach a point where they feel “stuck” in their pursuit of goals and visions. Exploring the six stages that people and organizations experience, including the challenging “stuck” phase, Thomas will guide participants in recognizing and navigating this common obstacle. The session will provide practical strategies for overcoming this barrier, emphasizing leadership principles and best practices that foster influence, fulfillment, and reduced stress. Attendees will gain valuable insights on how to move beyond stagnation to achieve greater satisfaction and success.

The Foundation of the Black Swan Method

Derek Gaunt will introduce participants to a communication approach designed to foster tactical empathy, build rapport, and achieve trust-based influence. While often associated with hostage negotiation, the Black Swan Method applies to any situation where a want or need is present—essentially, every negotiation. Gaunt will provide a fundamental understanding of the core skills behind the method, explaining their purpose and how they can be effectively applied in various contexts to improve communication, negotiation outcomes, and relationship-building.
