Celebrating the CEF Trina Cole , Pro-Craft Construction


Which is the root behind Project Engage ‘know yourself to lead yourself.’ Knowing the leadership voices has allowed for me to better acknowledge what ‘I thought was’ versus ‘what actually is.’ Having such clarification has allowed for me to have more of an open mind and the ability to engage at a higher level.” Project Engage’s 1:1 executive coach-


ing provides an advantage to go in-depth on the topics discussed during group sessions. According to Cole, the coaching sessions consist of real-life situations al- lowing for open feedback and guidance. Following every 1:1 session, Cole leaves with a task to work on that she later re- ports back on how the task or situation was resolved, and what she learned in the process. Cole said she’s evaluating the success of the program by setting operational as well as personal goals. She wants to be challenged, allowing for growth for herself and her peers. Te 2023-24 Project Engage program


is currently accepting applications at agc-ca.org/sites/project-engage/. Join companies like Pro-Craft Construction, who has already signed up six new em- ployees for next year’s program, Flatiron Construction, and more!
