EP 33: Authenticity By Design

Constructive Behaviors ·

2023/12/19

What is the WORD of 2023? According to Merriam-Webster, the word is "AUTHENTIC".

A choice that each of us gets to make based on our own personal situations and that we should be able to do so WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. This episode is a recording of a speech I delivered in early 2023 titled "Authenticity By

“Why are we still talking about women’s equality in construction? Things are much better than they used to be. Are women REALLY STILL facing hardships? Can’t we just focus on hiring and promoting the BEST candidates and set gender aside?” These are questions I have heard from men in our industry.
