On Thursday October 26th, I will be speaking at the Women in Residential Construction Conference at Nashville, TN on the topic, ‘Growth Begins Outside Your Comfort Zone’. Through real-life stories and my experiences, I will share some of my deepest insights on how: ✔️ Starting doesn't require perfection. ✔️ When we utter, "I cannot," it truly signifies, "I choose not to." The next move is to explore the reasons behind it. ✔️ Each person we encounter carries a valuable lesson for us; absorb knowledge from them. ✔️ To expand our comfort zone, we must persistently challenge the barriers we set for ourselves. ✔️ Identify that daunting challenge, then take action and conquer it! I am a firm believer that we must be solid in who we are as individuals in order to be successful in business. Limited Spaces Available!

Master Builders Association of New South Wales, in partnership with the NSW Government, has officially launched a digital one-stop shop to attract, support and promote women in the building and construction industry. The new website, Women Building NSW, marks a significant milestone in the industry’s efforts to promote inclusivity and diversity within the industry, with a range of resources and support for women and young girls, parents, employers and consumers. Executive Director Brian Seidler said we hope providing vital resources and support will help more women pursue rewarding careers in this dynamic sector. “As one of the largest sectors, with around 150,000 businesses employing around 400,000 people, the building and construction industry plays a crucial role in the growth and prosperity across every city, town and region in NSW. “But sadly, only 15 per cent of that workforce is made up of women, and as little as 3 per cent of tradies are women. “This presents a massive opportunity for the future success of the industry with an untapped pool of the population who have an array of skills and talents to bring to the table.” The launch of the Women Building NSW website comes in the midst of chronic workforce shortages facing our sector, and at the same time, NSW struggles with a housing crisis. “Women are the key to ensuring we can unlock the door to many more homes and deliver the vital infrastructure and commercial hubs communities are crying out for,” Mr Seidler said. NSW President Bob Black said the new Women Building hub offers a wealth of resources and support to help bridge this gap. “It can be difficult to navigate all the various pathways available for women in the industry, which the hub aims to bring together.” Mr Seidler added: “We know the premise of working in a male-dominated industry can be daunting for parents of young girls who might be interested in the trades, so we want to make sure there are appropriate support networks available and clear information on the opportunities. Some of the features of the hub include:- • Detailed Job Guidebook covering over 100 careers and job opportunities for women in trades. • Business start-up booklet for women interested in establishing a construction business. • Information for parents, teachers, and career advisors. • Information on upcoming pre-apprenticeship courses and apprenticeship employment opportunities for girls and women. • Resources for employers to recruit, retain, and support women in construction. • Register of female-led businesses in the building and construction industry. • Women ambassadors and mentors offering support and guidance. • Industry stories, networking events, and resources on gender awareness and discrimination. The project was made possible with funding from the Trade Pathways Program - Training Services NSW. More information can be found by visiting the site:- (https://lnkd.in/gscArAzz)

Mentioned to my last post on LinkedIn about seeking diverse perspectives on the role of Architecture in Micro and Smart businesses of local women! And now for continuing it with this opinion: 🌍 In architecture, empowering women entrepreneurs in slow cities 🏡 through community participation is essential. Engaging local women and community members in the design process leads to spaces that truly reflect their needs and values. This collaborative approach fosters democratic design, resulting in meaningful and effective spaces. Embracing community participation is key to empowering and supporting local women and their businesses in a slow city. By designing functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces, architecture plays a vital role in enabling these businesses to thrive. Involving local women in the design process fosters a more connected and inclusive city. Let's continue emphasizing the impact of community participation in empowering women entrepreneurs in slow cities. 🌆 💠Join the conversation and share your thoughts on how architecture can contribute to empowering women entrepreneurs in our communities! 💬 #CommunityParticipation #SlowCity #UrbanDesign #EmpoweringWomenEntrepreneurs

One crucial fact I wish I had known before entering the architecture industry is the significant investment of time required to become registered, often with limited financial returns initially, unlike professions such as medicine or law. However, a career in architecture offers something unique. It combines technical skill with creative expression, positioning you well ahead of many in the arts. The ability to shape spaces and influence environments through creative thinking is incredibly rewarding. As a woman in architecture, this journey is especially impactful and rewarding. Despite the challenges, your contributions are invaluable and can inspire more women to join and thrive in the industry.
