Granite Connections: Psychological Safety and Mental Resilience

Featured in Granite Construction’s Internal Magazine, Connections

Tradewinds’ own Stephen Dummit teamed up with Granite’s Brandon Carlson to co-lead an education session at the 2025 AGC National Conference in Columbus, Ohio—spotlighting the Leaders Do MORE framework in front of a room full of Safety Managers, Directors, and industry leaders.

Together, they unpacked how this practical, people-first approach to leadership is resonating with Granite’s frontline workers—thanks to relatable facilitation and immediately applicable tools.

The audience responded to the clear alignment between purpose and practicality: real tools for real people, delivering real impact.

The success of this initiative in Granite’s Reno operations caught company-wide attention, earning a feature in Connections magazine and celebrating both Brandon and Stephen’s contributions as representatives of the Nevada AGC.
