Synergy Solution Group welcomed 58 field supervisors from across the country to its 2026 Field Supervisors Forum, held April 12–15 in Philadelphia. The event brought together leaders from commercial HVAC and mechanical contracting companies to focus on leadership development, communication, and real-world challenges in the field.

The forum featured interactive sessions led by leadership expert Gregory Tall, who guided attendees through practical approaches to delegation, communication, and navigating change. His workshop emphasized the evolving role of field supervisors as both technical experts and people leaders.

Additional sessions were led by Scott Adams of Service Operations Institute, who provided actionable frameworks for managing performance, setting expectations, and addressing challenges in real time. Attendees also heard from Mike Barnard of Cox Engineering, who shared insights into developing future leaders through their Apprentice Team Lead program.

A key component of the forum was peer-to-peer learning. Through small group discussions and roundtable conversations, attendees shared experiences and strategies related to workforce development, communication, and balancing billable responsibilities with leadership demands.

Feedback from attendees highlighted the value of these discussions, with Nate Swailes (CSE) noting, “The best part of the meeting was getting to know everyone and getting advice from guys who have been in my position before.” 

Synergy Solution Group continues to host peer-driven forums and training sessions throughout the year, focused on helping mechanical contractors develop their teams, share best practices, and strengthen leadership across their organizations.
