What can be done to attract more women to construction?  Today, on the Leadership Blueprints podcast, we welcome Barb Allen, a renowned construction industry keynote speaker and host of the Constructive Behaviors Podcast. In honor of Women in Construction Week, we talked with Barb about her construction career and how she is helping more women find success in the industry.  From stumbling on a degree in construction management – and immediately realizing it was what she wanted to do – to spending over twenty years in the field, Barb recounts how she moved through the ranks to where she is today. We discuss the current level of diversity in construction, what can be done to attract more women to the field, and how The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) programs are introducing a new generation of young people to the joys of construction work. Barb also shares the story behind her 14%ers Subscription Box, designed to support and empower women in construction.  Tune in for an inspiring conversation about breaking barriers and building a more inclusive future! Key Points From This Episode:•   How she uses public speaking to address gender-specific challenges.•   Unpacking the variety of career paths in construction.•   What the industry can do to attract more women to construction.•   Why companies should spotlight female employees and their roles.•   How to normalize construction as a career path for women from a young age. Quotes:“It's important that companies are spotlighting, as much as possible, the women that work in their companies and – help people understand what it is they do. Because we have amazing women.” — Barb Allen “There's such a stigma about the challenges that women face in the industry. And yes, we face challenges, but when we are overcoming these, it is such a rewarding career.” — Barb Allen “The more we can work together to make a more inclusive environment for everyone in it, the more successful this industry will be.” — Barb Allen  “Safety glasses are so inexpensive. But the first time I put these safety glasses on, and they fit in my face. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh. I'm 30 years into this industry, and this is the first pair of safety glasses that feel like they fit!'” — Barb Allen  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Barb AllenBarb Allen on LinkedInConstructive Behaviors PodcastWomen In Construction Subscription Box: The 14%ersThe National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC)Women in Construction WeekWomen in Construction Midwest Region | Block Kids Building ProgramCamp NAWIC | Building the Next Generation: Construction Programs for Girls (and Boys!)GoldieBlox Superbowl commercial 2014Plumber PaigePlumber Paige BooksJudaline CassidyJudaline Cassidy BooksTalking from 9 to 5: Women and Men at WorkLeadership Blueprints PodcastMCFAMCFA CareersBJ Kraemer on LinkedIn

In this episode of Grit, Grace, and Glitz, host Erika celebrates Women in Construction Week, sharing her personal journey as a civil engineer in a male-dominated industry. Erika reflects on her 22-year career, starting as a fresh graduate from Villanova University, stepping onto her first job site with uncertainty but determination.Erika emphasizes the importance of allyship, mentorship, and lifting others in the industry. She highlights the challenges women face in construction, where only 10% of workers are women, and just 4% are in field roles - and she also highlights the support she's received from male mentors and colleagues.Using personal protective equipment (PPE) as a metaphor, she breaks down key leadership lessons:Boots → Grounding oneself in awareness and challenging biases.Vest → Investing in talent and supporting others.Safety Glasses → Strengthening teams through clarity and psychological safety.Hard Hat → Bringing energy and leadership to every space.Erika's message is one of empowerment, resilience, and breaking barriers. She encourages listeners—whether in construction or any industry—to “lace up their boots, put on their hard hat, and rise.” Erika truly believes that with continued efforts, the percentage of women in construction will grow, and diversity in leadership will strengthen industries. The future is bright!

Erin Craw talks to Heather Kurtenbach and Vicki O'Leary about the changing landscape of the construction industry and how they plan to continue making it less intimidating for women to jump into this profession. While construction has predominantly been a man-dominated industry, times are changing. Women make up about 14% of the Construction Workforce but the numbers continue to grow. Heather Kurtenbach has been an Ironworker for 18 years, finishing her apprenticeship in 2009. She went on to become a foreman, GF, instructor, and now a Business Agent for her Local, Ironworkers Local 86 in Tukwila, WA.Vicki O'Leary joined Ironworkers International in January 2016.

Welcome to another installment of the Hazard Girls Podcast! Today on the show we get together with Nora Casanova, the Logistics Manager at Karsten Interior Services, a commercial construction subcontractor in Houston, Texas. Nora has three degrees to her name, including International Business, Supply Chain Management, and Entrepreneurship from the University of Texas, and is currently enrolled in the University of Texas, at Arlington Construction Management Master's program. She is also on the board of directors for the National Association of Women in Construction and led this year's Women in Construction Week Committee in Houston. While Nora is clearly a logistical genius, she also thrives on the chaos that comes from working in the construction industry. In our conversation, we discuss how Nora got into construction, what she loves about it, and how her education in logistics has helped her in the industry. Tuning in you'll hear about the fashion show at this year's Women in Construction Week, and what Nora has planned for next year. We also discuss the value of finding women in construction to support your career journey and what it means to collect a board of directors for your career. Finally, Nora elaborates on the importance of representation for women in construction on social media, and some of the steps being taken to enhance their presence online.
