In today’s marketplace leaders need to be engaged, connected, aware and lead from a position of integrity. Leaders who connect with their employees have the opportunity to dominate their industries.
The ‘Bold: Advanced Leadership’ workshop is a challenging course designed for top performing professionals who are ready to take their leadership skills to the next level. This is a hands-on, deep-dive, bootcamp style training. ‘Bold: Advanced Leadership’ is NOT for everyone! It is specifically designed to take professionals from where they are, to where they want to be, in the shortest amount of time. Often clients refer to these three days as the toughest three days of their life…and they loved every bit of it.
This is not a fix-it class. Many managers want to send their least productive person to help them improve their performance. However, in most cases, we have found this practice to be counter-productive. Send your top employees to this training and get the benefits of having your best be at their best.
We intentionally limit this workshop’s enrollment. We believe the smaller programs (16-18 people) are optimal. Register early as this training course fills up fast.

Students learn to profitably deliver optimum combustion performance and carbon monoxide (CO) safety through the proper use of combustion analyzers and draft gauges. Common CO sources and efficiency issues are identified with appropriate solutions. Many former students report life-saving stories that are directly attributed to knowledge gained from this course.
Students learn to optimize existing residential duct systems, redesigning them to deliver more of the heating and cooling capacity that the HVAC equipment is rated to provide. Typical duct systems lose 43% of the equipment’s efficiency. Optimized duct systems, which can be installed during mild weather months, reduce that rate by 50% or more. Students also learn to deliver greater comfort throughout the residence by eliminating hot and cold spots through applying professional air balancing techniques. This highly profitable service helps contractors comply with tighter local, state, and federal building codes.
Students learn to discover and repair hidden safety, health, comfort, and energy-draining residential HVAC system defects through advanced diagnostic procedures. The higher average sales generated with this approach include high-efficiency residential equipment, accessories, installation supplies, and maintenance agreements – all year long. Students also learn to deliver greater comfort throughout the residence by eliminating hot and cold spots through applying professional air balancing techniques.
