Stories of
strategy and success
Welcome to the Women In Construction Leadership podcast, where inclusivity is center stage and key women leaders in our industry and their supporters get the microphone.
We believe the passion and drive of women within the construction sector inspires innovation and energizes a new generation to take up the trades, recast the dialogue, and stamp out the stereotypes.
Join us as we reframe the attitude about our industry with authentic, informative, and fun conversation, interviews with leaders and trailblazers in the field, tips and tricks, anecdotes and advice, and more.
