Building the Teams That Build Your Projects

Have you ever wondered how a skilled business coach can help you or your firm? If so, you’re in the right place. Welcome to GBA’s Leadership Lounge – a podcast series that will teach you how to elevate your team – but only if you tune in!

In the latest episode, GBA Podcast hosts catch up with Sydne Jacques, P.E., CSP, a business coach who specializes in leadership and team development, particularly within the engineering and construction industries. Jacques discusses her career journey, her coaching philosophy, and several frameworks she uses to improve team communication, address conflict, and foster a positive work environment.

Sydne, the CEO of Next Level Leadership, is a professional engineer turned professional speaker and consultant who is often referred to as “the engineer with a personality.”

Listeners will learn about the power of frameworks and the Upper Arrow model; Sydne’s foundational philosophy of human connection; how to address conflicting perspectives; and the HIPP Model: A Framework for Feedback.
