TRAINING THURSDAY: Tough Talks That Work in Construction

Jordan and Kerry talk about ICBA’s latest featured course.

On a construction site, tension comes with the territory — tight timelines, tough conditions, and strong personalities are part of the job. Conflict is inevitable. The real question is: do you handle it in a way that protects trust, safety, and productivity… or lets small issues blow up into big problems?

ICBA Training’s upcoming course, Tough Talks That Work in Construction, gives construction leaders a practical toolkit for stepping into conflict before it spirals.
