Women in Construction Paving the Way

On Tuesday, March 22nd we had a live conversation with a panel of talented women 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. Here is a link to the webinar recording and below find a sampling of some of the great advice that was shared during this webcast. Be sure to listen to the recording to hear more amazing tips! Take a moment to reply with your own advice! "Be assertive, don't be afraid to speak up, try not to people please, learn to say no." "Ask your coworkers more about what they do and how you can help them be successful. You'll learn more about your company/industry and you'll gain a teammate" "Build those critical relationships so you get buy-in and support, and pick your battles. Your outcomes do speak for you!" "I believe in always learning and growing which sometimes is not comfortable, but you need to be uncomfortable to grow."

    Some great advice. It has been a journey, but we now have a number of women in key project management roles, and it had definitely been for the better of the company.
