Flatiron Construction’s Post

GRATITUDE: I would like to express my immense gratitude to two individuals that brought their A-game and delivered their respective content yesterday in a way that left attendees at the Constructors Guild™ inaugural event: ✅ Enlightened ✅ Informed ✅ Increased clarity ✅ Increased confidence ✅ and Equipped to make better decisions for themselves and their businesses I haven’t gotten all the feedback yet from the attendees, however, I can share that two of them made on the spot decisions that left them feeling relieved and extremely happy of their decision to have attended yesterday’s launch. A profound thank you to both Kara Hardin as well as Kristi Herold. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Ladies….you killed it. 🚀💣💥 I couldn’t have asked for two better partners to have backing me on what will be the construction industry’s premier construction professionals' platform, where High-Level Construction Experts converge to unlock their next BIG breakthrough. Experience unrivaled access to invaluable connections, impactful contributions, and transformative collaborations that are unattainable elsewhere in the industry. #connection #contribution #transformation #collaboration #community #construction #constructionindustry #constructorsguild

THE BIGGER PICTURE: I had a contact reach out to me on Monday to give me props on the content I have been putting out on this platform as well as the buzz he's heard come back from mutual contacts of the Constructors Guild™'s inaugural event. We chatted about both and he shared the following statement: "You know Gianluca.....you won't be able to change the industry. This industry has been f**ked up for years and it will continue to be that way." I didn't, nor would I, argue with his statement. Truth be known, I partially agree with it. The construction industry is f**ked up. So be it. It's as evident as the nose on your face. My mission and intent is not to change the industry, but provide a safe space where high-level construction professionals can change themselves by way of (among many) proximity, community, connection, and collaboration. To provide them with the structure and support that is missing from our industry. So, when you think about it. Each and every one of the future members of the Constructors Guild™ will have an equal impact on bringing individual change to the construction industry. Change doesn't need 51%. There are studies that show that between 3.5% (low end) to 25% (high end) active participants can inspire change. I have always used (as taught) 10 - 12% as a benchmark. If what I am seeing and hearing from our younger generation pans out - which I am confident it will. We'll soon eclipse all of those numbers. So, I may not be able to change the construction industry on my own. But it sure AF won't stop me from doing everything I can to encourage and empower others to improve their careers and businesses within our industry. Let the tipping point show up on its own. That's not my concentration. Onward and upwards 🚀 #community #construction #constructionindustry #constructorsguild

Hey LinkedIn family! Have you ever been part of a big school project with lots of friends and somehow ended up disagreeing on something? Maybe how to build the best cardboard castle or who gets to be the group leader? Well, in the grown-up world of building real castles (and bridges, and houses), we also sometimes disagree. And just like in school, we need to find a good way to fix our problems so we can all be happy and finish our project. As someone who helps lead projects, I’ve seen my fair share of disagreements on construction sites and design offices. I know how important it is to resolve these disputes in a way that’s fair and doesn't take up too much time. After all, we want to get back to building as soon as possible! There are lots of ways to solve these grown-up disagreements, called 'disputes.' It’s like choosing whether to have a teacher help decide who's right, sit in a circle and talk it out until everyone agrees, or even ask someone outside of school to help. Each way has its pluses and minuses, and what works best can depend on the kind of project we’re working on. In my years on the job, I’ve seen that no matter what method we choose, the key is to talk with each other openly and try to understand where everyone is coming from. It’s like teamwork in class - when we listen and work together, we can find a solution that lets us all win and create something awesome. So, next time you find yourself in a disagreement, remember that it’s all about finding the best way to work things out. Whether you’re building a cardboard castle or a skyscraper, solving problems is a super important skill! #Construction #Teamwork #ProblemSolving #Leadership #CivilEngineering Remember, always keep building bridges, both literally and figuratively! 🌉🤝

FOLLOW-UP ON THE MENTORING IN CONSTRUCTION TOWN HALL: If you were wondering how it went... Phenomenal and amazing are definitely two words I would use to describe the outcomes. The panellists that made up the inaugural event were each in their own right outstanding. But that wasn't a surprise to me. I knew that going in which made achieving the results WE achieved together all that more possible. I am still beside myself as to the discourse, comments, questions, and praise the Constructive Conversations™'s inaugural event produced. Here's an example I got while decompressing on the couch that night. Going over every bit of the event in my mind. Sitting in gratefulness, then the following text message showed up. See below 👇 My mission in life is to leave this world a better place than when I was first welcomed into it. Some of the ways I plan on doing so is to: ✅ Pay it forward ✅ Send the elevator down ✅ Share my knowledge, experience, and wisdom ✅ Make open sourcing all of these things normal in our industry ✅ Held construction professionals help themselves so that they can then help their businesses which includes their teams ✅ Be an ambassador of change for our industry ✅ Be the voice of the underdog ✅ Advocate for better working relationships in our industry which are based on trust, accountability, and transparency *among others) A simple, yet precious, two paragraph text gives so much to me. It acknowledges my vision and hard work. And it affirms that I am going in the right direction. It's also rewarding AF to learn you're inspiring people. If there's something that comes out of this is that I wish everyone in the construction industry either send a text like this to someone that's inspired them. Or to be on the receiving end of one like I got on Monday night. My vision for myself and the industry I work in will be brought to life through my newest endeavour which is the Constructors Guild™. A community for those who build them™ The future looks bright! 🚀 #community #construction #constructionindustry #constructorsguild

🚀 Phrase of the Week at Oelrich Construction, Inc This week’s inspirational quote on our bullpen whiteboard was penned by one of our talented team members, and it resonates deeply with our core values, especially our commitment to continuous improvement and integrity. 🌟 “Measure your progress over time, not against an opponent. The risk of competing against others is that you can win without getting better. When you compete against yourself, the only way to win is to grow.” In the fast-paced world of commercial construction, it’s easy to get caught up in external comparisons. However, this wisdom reminds us of the importance of focusing inward. At Oelrich Construction, we believe in measuring success not just by the projects we complete but by how we evolve and improve with each undertaking. 💡 We’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach to growth and improvement. How do you measure success in your professional journey? #OelrichConstruction #ContinuousImprovement #ProfessionalGrowth #ConstructionExcellence #Teamwork #InspirationalQuotes
