You’re Good At The Job.
Leading People Is
A Different Problem.
Construction businesses don’t lose money on bad materials. They lose it on bad leadership — the stuff that happens between the toolbox talk and knock-off.
A supervisor promoted because they were the best worker in the crew, not because anyone taught them how to lead one. A team leader avoiding the hard conversation until it becomes a formal complaint. A good worker walking out the door — not for more money, but because nobody was listening.
→ You give the instruction. Nothing happens. You’ve said it twice. They still didn’t do it. And now you’re stuck between micromanaging and letting it slide.
→ There’s conflict brewing and you’re ignoring it. You know it’s there. So does everyone else. But you don’t know how to raise it without making it worse.
→ Your best people are leaving. Not for more money. For a better environment. For a leader who actually gets them.
This is the problem EPIC Elevate™ was built to solve.
THE REAL COST OF
NOT DOING THIS.
Poor leadership isn’t a soft problem. It shows up on your bottom line, your insurance premiums, and your ability to keep a functioning crew. Here’s what the research says.
Average cost of a psychological injury claim in construction
Psychological hazard claims take three times longer to resolve than physical injury claims — and poor leadership behaviour is the primary driver. — Safe Work Australia
Of employee engagement is directly tied to their immediate supervisor
A disengaged worker costs an organisation an estimated 34% of their annual salary in lost productivity, absenteeism and errors. — Gallup State of the Global Workplace
Of an employee’s annual salary to replace them when they leave
Recruitment, onboarding, lost productivity and knowledge transfer add up fast — and the number one reason skilled workers leave is their direct supervisor, not their pay. — SHRM / Work Institute
Leadership development identified as a top-3 workforce priority by Tasmania’s construction industry
Keystone Tasmania’s own industry survey ranked supervisory skills, leadership and culture among the most critical training needs in the sector right now. — Keystone Tasmania Industry Forum 2025
Investing $700 (after Keystone rebate) to solve a $58,000 problem isn’t a training decision. It’s a business decision.
TWO DAYS THAT CHANGE
HOW YOU LEAD FOR GOOD.
EPIC Elevate™ is built on the EPIC Leadership Method™ — a framework developed from almost 30 years of real construction experience across infrastructure, energy, utilities and major projects. No academic theory. No death-by-PowerPoint. Every session uses real site scenarios, group discussion, and tools you can apply immediately. Designed specifically for trade-based learners — plain language, practical frameworks, and peer learning from people facing the same pressures on the same kind of sites.

LEADING YOURSELF AND COMMUNICATING CLEARLY
MODULE 01 · HANDLING PRESSURE
You already know what pressure feels like on a construction site — deadlines slipping, budgets blowing, a crew member not pulling their weight. Most supervisors absorb that pressure and react. Some shut down. Some blow up. Both damage trust. This module gives you a framework to respond instead of react — so you stay steady when your team needs you most.
Outcome: Stay composed under pressure in a way that builds trust, not fear.
MODULE 02 · GETTING CLEAR SO YOUR TEAM GETS IT
The number one frustration supervisors bring to EPIC Elevate™: “I told them what to do. They didn’t do it.” The assumption is that the team is the problem. More often, it’s how the instruction landed. This module gives you a repeatable communication framework that works on site — where it’s noisy, fast, and no one has time to ask twice.
Outcome: Communicate so clearly your team knows exactly what’s expected — and why it matters.
MODULE 03 · HAVING THE HARD CONVERSATIONS EARLY
The conversation you avoid today is the grievance you manage in six months. Every supervisor has a situation they’re avoiding right now — an attitude problem, a performance issue, someone undermining the crew. This module gives you a practical framework for addressing it early, professionally, and without it getting personal or escalating out of control.
Outcome: Have the conversations you’ve been avoiding — and have them well.
LEADING OTHERS AND STRENGTHENING YOUR TEAM
MODULE 04 · FROM GOOD TRADIE TO GOOD LEADER
Being the best on the tools got you noticed. But the moment you became a supervisor, the job changed completely — and nobody told you. Suddenly your success depended entirely on the performance of other people, not your own output. This module gives you the foundation to lead with clarity and accountability — without rescuing, without micromanaging, and without carrying problems that aren’t yours to carry.
Outcome: Lead your team forward instead of carrying them.
MODULE 05 · MANAGING CONFLICT WITHOUT TAKING IT ON
Site conflict is inevitable. Personalities clash. Pressures build. History between crew members surfaces at the worst possible moment. Most supervisors either avoid conflict entirely — or get pulled into it and lose their neutrality. Both make it worse. This module gives you a clear, practical approach to managing conflict without absorbing it emotionally or letting it consume hours of your week.
Outcome: Handle conflict on site without it following you home.
MODULE 06 · KEEPING GOOD PEOPLE
Retention is one of the most expensive problems in Australian construction right now — and most businesses are trying to fix it with pay rises. Research consistently shows the number one reason skilled workers leave is their direct supervisor, not their wages. They leave because they weren’t valued. Because they couldn’t speak up. This module connects everything from both days into a concrete 90-day plan to strengthen retention on your site — starting next Monday.
Outcome: A clear 90-day action plan to strengthen team stability and retention.

Angela Hucker
Founder & CEO · EPIC Services Group · TEDx Speaker · ICF-Aligned Coach
Angela Hucker didn’t design EPIC Elevate™ from a consulting firm or a university. She built it from almost 30 years of working inside the construction industry — across infrastructure, energy, utilities and major projects — in site-based roles, FIFO environments, and executive leadership positions.
She knows what the pressure feels like at 6am before a full crew shows up. She knows what it costs — financially and personally — when leadership breaks down on a site. And she knows what good culture looks like and what it actually takes to build it. EPIC Elevate™ is built from that experience — not theory, not motivation, but a practical behavioural framework designed for the industry she has spent her career inside.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who exactly is this program for? expand_more
EPIC Elevate™ is built for first-time supervisors, team leaders, foremen and senior tradespeople — particularly those who support apprentices or have recently stepped into a leadership role. It’s also relevant for construction business owners who want to develop their site supervisors. If you’re technically strong but know that leading people requires a different skill set, this program is for you.
How does the Keystone Tasmania rebate actually work? expand_more
You pay EPIC the full course fee of $3,497 (inc. GST) to secure your enrolment. After completing the workshop, eligible Tasmanian construction businesses can claim up to 80% of that cost back directly from Keystone Tasmania — reducing your net investment to as little as $700 per participant. To check your eligibility, visit the Keystone Tasmania website.
Is this an accredited course? expand_more
No. EPIC Elevate™ is a non-accredited leadership performance program — which means it focuses entirely on behavioural outcomes rather than paperwork. It is still eligible for Keystone Tasmania funding. Participants leave with practical skills and a written 90-day action plan, not just a certificate.
Is this one-on-one or group training? expand_more
Group-based. Each cohort has a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 participants. The group format is intentional — peer learning, shared experience, and industry-specific discussion are core to how the program works. This is not a large conference. It is a focused, high-accountability room.
What’s included in the 4 months of post-workshop support? expand_more
Following the 2-day workshop, participants receive structured implementation support to embed what they learned into their day-to-day leadership. This includes access to EPIC’s resources, tools and check-in frameworks — because behaviour change doesn’t happen in a room. The support is designed to ensure the change actually sticks.
What if the dates don’t suit my schedule? expand_more
Three workshops are being delivered across Tasmania — Launceston (12–13 May), Devonport (26–27 May), and Hobart (8–9 June). Enrol now and note your preferred location. All workshops must be completed before 30 June 2026 to qualify for Keystone rebate support, so don’t delay.
