B2) People Skills for People Businesses (Charm School for Code Officials)Tim Schneider, President & Founder, Soaring Eagle Enterprises, Inc. LeaderShip trackBuilding, code and engineering professionals have to walk the delicate tightrope of a people based business rooted in a highly technical environment. Too often, the easiest path is to become immersed in the technical side and become buried in code, plans and blueprints and thus, ignore the people piece of the business. Successful code officials have to interact with a variety of stakeholders including senior management, team members, developers, community groups, politicians, homeowners and lawyers. Each of those interactions requires a uniquely blended set of people skills delivered with grace and charm. This training will provide the core skills associated with being a people person including a look at communication, courtesy, connecting with others, social graces and image. An assessment of personality and behavior also become an important part of developing people skills to understand natural tendencies and learn to become more adaptive in people connecting situations. Move beyond being a technical expert and learn to exert your people skills with People Skills for People Businesses.
Target Audience: Building, code and enforcement sectors are a people business. As much as technical knowledge and specific code familiarity drive everyday operations, the ability to interact, connect and work successfully with people remain paramount. This class is designed for all team members at every organizational level that interact with the public and fellow team members.

Important Information Regarding Continuing Education Credit (CEUs):An ICC CEU is a continuing education unit; each 10 clock hours of continuing education equals 1 CEU. Our typical one-day seminar has 6 hours of instruction, or 0.6 CEUs. Credit is awarded for a variety of activities wherein the objective is achieving relevant professional knowledge beyond that required for initial certification. Participation in all OBOA courses are approved for International Code Council (ICC) certification renewal continuing education credits as noted for each class. Please check with your appropriate jurisdiction and/or institution regarding your specific continuing education credit needs.
OBOA is an approved International Code Council (ICC) Preferred Provider. The Preferred Provider Program recognizes and pro-motes ICC-approved educational offerings as they relate to codes, standards and guidelines, as well as building construction materials, products and methods. ICC certificate holders may obtain ICC CEUs from Preferred Providers that can be applied toward the renewal requirements of ICC’s certification program. It is the intent of OBOA that all classes offered at institutes will be approved for the Preferred Provider Program.

Paper Lite! Details on HandoutsOBOA is increasingly aware that every piece of printed paper has an impact on our event’s carbon footprint.

To maintain the integrity of the class, please do not share this link with anyone else. It will be provided to registered attendees only. To ensure that you receive the course materials, you must provide an email address on the registration form.
If you wish to have printed materials provided on-site, attendees may pre-order a set of printed handouts for an additional fee of $10 per class. If you wish to pre-order your session handouts, please see the registration form to order. Please note this is a change from past institutes.
