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!

    If you are unsure of anything regarding what expectations are be sure to ask and then follow through.

    Don't change who you are. Ask questions as needed.

    Continue asking questions and run with the knowledge. You are your own biggest cheerleader, don't let anyone take your spirit.

    Success is what you make it and a part of that success path is created by who you work with. One of the things in the webinar that I appreciated was how it took one person to support them and mentor them that helped them take the step forward. Success isn't just what you create, it's also knowing who to network with and one thing people forget is it's ok to enjoy and appreciate those successes. You worked hard to achieve it, so bask in its wonderfulness.

    Be open to new perceptions - the more we collaborate, the more clearer the projects get.

    I ask questions if I am unsure, if I train anyone, I always tell them to ask questions that it is better to than to do something wrong.
