Women in Construction: Breaking Down Barriers and Strategies for Success

On Monday, March 4th we had a live conversation with a panel of talented individuals where they share their personal journey of overcoming barriers, how they've seen the industry change, and what leadership opportunities look like for women in construction today. For those who were unable to join us live, here's a link to the webinar recording. "Understanding the bigger picture of the company, learning about different parts of the business, and setting clear career goals are crucial steps towards success. It's important to push beyond your comfort zone, take chances, and not wait until you feel 100% ready for a role. Know your worth, ask for opportunities, and advocate for yourself in the construction industry." Take a moment to reply with your own advice!

    You need to advocate for yourself. If you want a place at the table let your company know that. No one is a mind reader.

    The page that linked here didn't say anything about commenting to earn the points offered but I'm assuming that's a requirement? As a male, I feel uncomfortable offering women vague advice that they didn't request. But if that's a requirement here, my advice would be to get advice from someone you trust, respect & has gone through the same type of thing you're seeking advice on. Don't rely on shallow "hang in there" posters or "you got this girl!" Instagram inspo-posts, find a person who can help you through the challenges and will celebrate you when you overcome them. Or don't take my advice because I'm just another flawed human bound to make mistakes, so who am I to act like I know better than you?

    Don't be afraid to ask questions! You can't learn if you don't ask!
