🚧 Does Construction Have an Image Problem—or Is It Just Reality? 🎙️ In the latest episode of The Construction Cafe, Victoria Smith and I are joined by the incredible Margaret Trainor, Director of Business Development at BuildSite and Founder / CEO of Atmo Home, to tackle a big question: 🔍 Does the construction industry really have an image problem, or is it about how we communicate its evolution? This episode dives into: ✔️ Creative ways construction companies can use marketing and social media to humanize their brands. ✔️ The role of TikTok, newsletters, and even ASMR videos in reshaping public perception. ✔️ Why marketing and sales shouldn’t be siloed in construction. ✔️ How generational shifts and new technologies are redefining how we attract talent and clients. 🌟 Favorite quote from the episode: "You can choose to show up and have your voice be part of the change and help create it, or you can be dragged along kicking and screaming. That’s not going to help anybody." – Tristen Magallanes 🎧 Tune in to learn how the construction industry can shift its narrative and evolve to stay competitive. Find us on Spotify, Apple and Podbean!

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈 For those who don't know the history of why Pride Month exists, take a look at this article which explains a brief history of the first organized demonstration that took place in June 1969 in New York City. 🌆 The construction industry has been a challenging place for folks within the LGBTQIA+ community to be open and authentic. This month, I encourage you to pause, be open to learning, and ask genuine questions in an effort to build your allyship for this community. 🏗 🏳️🌈 #buildingequality #happypride #celebrate #LGBTQIA #pridemonth #SFpride

👷♀️ Excited to share! 👷♀️ I recently had the opportunity to be featured in an 🎙 interview with Authority Magazine, where I discussed how we can increase girls' participation in engineering and robotics. It's a topic I'm incredibly passionate about, and I'm thrilled to share my insights and experiences. 💥 In the interview, I highlight : "It's essential to create an environment where girls feel supported and encouraged to pursue engineering. This includes providing mentorship programs, showcasing successful female engineers, and integrating engineering concepts into early education to spark interest from a young age." #STEMeducation #robotics #engineering #construction #womeninconstruction #wic365 #girlsinrobotics #girlsinengineering #thefutureisfemale
