Since 2006, Breakthrough Training has run the Nevada AGC Chapter's own Leadership Series — a multi-module program for rising professionals nominated by AGC member firms.
Classes meet in half-day sessions at the AGC Training Center in Reno, moving from personal leadership fundamentals into construction-specific modules on government affairs and media interaction, then wrap with a graduation ceremony at AGC's own president's luncheon.
Say good-bye to boring lectures or power point presentations.
Our programs are hands-on, action driven for proven results!
Six core modules taught over several months, the same curriculum AGC member firms have nominated employees into since 2006.
This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of leadership, building a clearer understanding of their own leadership style and how it applies both on and off the jobsite.
Building on Module 1, participants go deeper into personality types and individual preferences while setting concrete goals to improve their own effectiveness.
Participants build the tools to communicate effectively with anyone, crew, clients, or leadership, practicing the listening and speaking habits that build trust fast.
This module unites the cohort around common goals, building the trust and shared purpose it takes to get a team, or a jobsite, pulling in the same direction.
A module unique to this program: participants learn how city and county government actually works, how policy changes affect their business, and how to build real relationships with elected officials.
Participants learn how to get their message out through TV, print, radio, and online, and how to represent their company and the construction industry well when it matters most.
Every attendee leaves with the real tools to keep using what they learned.
A dedicated hardcover journal for the cohort's own reflections, notes, and next steps through each module.
Two pocket cards to write down top goals and the concrete steps to reach them.
A weighted metal pen with a built-in stylus tip, so notes carry over to any screen.

I have worked with Jeff and Breakthrough Training for over 15 years. The training he provides is spot on! Whether its team building, individual training, difficult situations/conversations to conflict resolution, Jeff does it all and knows his topic.

I really enjoyed this class from a personal and a professional perspective This class helped me learn and grow in ways I would not have anticipated and I highly recommend this seminar to everyone. This is the best class I have taken to date in my career.

I have learned many life skills that I will carry with me throughout my career. It has inspired me to become a better leader.

The goal program allowed me to look at my personal and work life that I can take action on now. It was very beneficial to think about all areas of life.

I highly recommend Jeff’s Breakthrough Training for anyone willing to have fun and be fully engaged while learning leadership and communication skills for personal and professional growth. It is the most enjoyable training I’ve participated in. He is great and so amazing at details!

Jeff's leadership training is a must! This training is great for managers, leaders, and staff. Understanding leadership styles, communication tactics, and team building are all essentials for building a cohesive team. This training provides these essentials and more!

Jeffrey led our office in an Executive Management Leadership Seminar. it was insightful, pointed and direct, all while being fun. We we're challenged to step out of our comfort zones and work together as a team. I would recommend Jeffrey to any company wanting to improve their leadership and communication.

I just finished a great training program lead by Jeffrey. It was an amazing two days. Each aspect was engaging and meaningful, with take-aways that I am able to utilize every day. It was definitely time well spent. Thank you Jeffrey for providing awesome program! I look forward to putting the skills to work!

The AGC Breakthrough Training was a fantastic experience that broadened and deepened my understanding of what it means to be an effective communicator and leader. It also offered me the opportunity to create relationships with other professionals that contribute to the construction industry. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is prepared to get comfortable being uncomfortable!

Jeff's high energy training programs not only provide useful information, they guide the learner to experience the lessons through hands-on activities which make them personal and in turn, memorable. The casual and fun atmosphere helps my team members relax and enjoy the training experience while still being held accountable for results.

I took Jeffrey Benjamin's Breakthrough Training Leadership modules and highly recommend it. I was able to get a lot out of them that I can apply in my professional career and in my personal life. Everybody wants to be able to communicate better with co-workers, employees, family members and friends. After completing the modules I felt that this was accomplished along with many other skills.

Jeff’s training was fantastic for all levels of Leaders. If you want to be a great manager/leader and you want to know more about your leadership style, this course is a must. His courses are designed to be very interactive and action packed! The team here at USAC had a great time, we had much needed team discussions, and we all left the 2-day training having FUN!

I recently attended Jeffrey Benjamin's Breakthrough Training. I have attended several leadership trainings over the years, and Jeffrey's two-day workshop stands out as among the best I've personally experienced. We were a mixed group of individuals who had never met before. We were required to self-organize in small groups to accomplish tasks that were challenging and unfamiliar. Participation was required from all individuals, which elucidated the different types of personalities and how we each find our place within an organization. I plan to send other members of my office staff to the workshops. Highly recommended!

Having participated in 3 of Jeffrey's trainings over the last several years I can say that each time they have had an impact for me. I always learn more about myself as well as the team I work with. Working for Microsoft we have the opportunity to attend many trainings. The real value of a training is when you walk away after spending the day together with your team; and you know your perspective has changed in how you look at your job, your team and your personal life. Jeffrey's trainings have all had that impact for me.

I've attended several of Jeff's Breakthrough Training courses and it's some of the best training and development I've experienced in my whole career. The training was timely and relevant for my position and the construction industry. His courses take you outside your comfort zone in terms of personal growth and relationship building. What I think I appreciated the most was Jeff's personal connection with each member of the course. For me and the countless others in my company that have had the privilege of taking a course from Jeff, I can assure you we are all better businessmen/business women and individuals!

We were growing rapidly, with multiple locations. We were in need of some official team training. We wanted to dial in our communications, leadership and overall cohesiveness as a corporation. I was referred to use Jeffrey Benjamin from Breakthrough Training. After a very successful training held in Reno. We invited Jeff and his team to Oakland, where they performed flawlessly again. A huge thank you from the team here at ERG Aerospace.
