The tendency is to do things a certain way for so long that ingrained habits are hard to break. However\, savvy engineering leaders recognize that adapting to change is a non-negotiable aspect of engineering business success\, so they consistently ask and answer critical questions about three aspects of their businesses – sales\, leadership\, and strategy. These simple\, yet powerful\, questions force engineering firms to think about important areas of their businesses that often get overlooked in the daily grind of providing engineering services. \nIn this webinar\, taken directly from the training and coaching practice of award-winning author and business coach\, Kelly Riggs\, you will discover nine important questions (three questions each in the areas of sales\, leadership\, and strategy) you should ask yourself as you seek to grow your firm. \nSpeakers\n \nKelly Riggs is an author\, speaker\, and business performance coach. Widely recognized as a powerful speaker and performance consultant in the areas of sales\, management leadership\, and strategic planning\, Kelly is a former sales executive\, a two-time national Salesperson-of-the-Year\, a serial entrepreneur\, and a member of the Forbes’ Coaches Council. He has written two books: 1-on-1 Management: What Every Great Manager Knows That You Don’t and Quit Whining and Start SELLING! A Step-by-Step Guide to a Hall of Fame Career in Sales. His third book\, Counter Mentor Leadership: How to Unlock the Potential of the 4-Generation Workplace\, was co-written with his Millennial son\, Robby Riggs. It was selected as the 2019 Gold Medal winner in the leadership category by Axiom Business Books Awards.

TRE offers premier commuter rail service between Fort Worth and Dallas. The section between I-35W and Sylvania Avenue in Fort Worth has been a single-track section\, which crosses the Trinity River on a narrow 764-foot-long bridge that was constructed in 1903. This section is used not only by TRE commuter trains\, but also Amtrak\, Union Pacific\, and BNSF freight trains. \nDue to the age of the bridge\, it requires frequent inspection\, monitoring\, and maintenance and reduced speeds and stops for freight trains\, causing delays to passenger trains. To resolve the issues\, TRE needed to rehabilitate the existing historic Trinity River Bridge and add a second track as part of this project. \nSpeakers\n \nFadi Faraj PE is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Texas with more than 20 years of experience. He holds a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.  He has extensive experience in geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing of infrastructure projects.  Most of his experience is in Texas\, providing him a vast knowledge of Texas subsurface stratigraphy and local design and construction practices. His technical skills are complemented with his managerial and leadership skills.  He is a graduate of both the Management and Leadership programs of the Institute for Generative Leadership.  In 2016\, he became the Vice President of Operations for the first HVJ Associates® franchise in North Texas. \nHe has been a member of ASCE since 2002\, and he started his journey by serving as the chair with the Houston Branch on the “Hospitality” and “Primary and Secondary Education” committees.  He also served as the chair with the Texas Section for the Intra-Relations Committee.  Currently\, he serves as the Geo-Institute Chair for ASCE Texas Section. Some of his volunteer work with ASCE includes presenting to high school students about being a civil engineer\, engaging kids in engineering activities at the Children Museum with the Austin Branch and the Perot Museum with the Dallas Branch\, helping with supplies at the Food Bank\, judging projects at Future City Competitions\, and maintaining clean highways through TxDOT’s “Adopt a Highway” program. \nMr. Faraj has been a Texas resident for the last 20 years.  He lives in Frisco and he is married to Lina Abi Mosleh\, who is a molecular genetics scientist.  They have 3 beautiful daughters\, and he wishes at least one of them will become a Civil Engineer! He enjoys building things\, golfing\, having family movie nights\, and going on adventure rides with the family at Disney World! \nCost\nMember $25   |   Nonmember $75   |   Government $15   |   Student FREE \nRegistration\n\n \n Attendee Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n ASCE Member ID*Please enter your ASCE Member ID so we can verify your membership status for member pricing.\n\nIf non-member\, please enter N/A Registration Type*Please note\, registration fees are per connection.
