Kerry and Jordan talk about ICBA's latest featured course.
Every foreman on a job site got there the same way: they were good at the work. And then one day they were handed a crew — and discovered that everything that made them great at the job was only half of what they needed to lead people effectively.
The other half? That's what Lead to Succeed: Leadership Skills for Foremen is built to teach.
Running May 12–13 through ICBA Training, this two half-day course is designed specifically for foremen and front-line leaders in the construction industry. Taught by Tony Healy (BC, CEC), it starts from a simple but powerful premise: leadership is an inside-out exercise. Before you can lead your crew, you need to understand yourself.
That's not soft thinking — it's why old-school top-down management keeps producing the same short-term results and the same long-term frustration. Over eight interactive hours via Zoom, participants work through the real fundamentals of effective leadership: what drives motivation and why the stick usually backfires, how to communicate with clarity and purpose, how to listen in a way that actually builds trust, and how to coach rather than direct.
And then there's the bonus that sets this course apart: every participant receives two hours of free one-on-one coaching with Tony after the sessions are complete. Real conversations about real problems — the crew conflict you're not sure how to handle, the communication breakdown that keeps repeating. It's a professional leadership coach, available to help you work through what you're actually facing.
Past participants put it well:
"Tony was thought-provoking and kept my interest through all of the lessons. I finished the course feeling very inspired and I know that I will help to implement leadership changes that will bring positive transformation into my organization."
If you have foremen who are technically excellent but haven't had formal leadership training, this is the course that closes that gap.
