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.

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.

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!
