Energising Construction: Powering Digital Transformation in the Built Environment
Concrete, Glass, and a Dash of Sass: My Journey to Digital Disruption in Construction 🚀
In the world of construction, resilience isn’t just a trait – it’s a survival skill.
But what happens when you face not just one, but two formidable foes: the concrete ceiling and the glass ceiling?
Well, you roll up your sleeves, grab your hard hat, and embark on a journey that’s equal parts hilarious and inspiring.
Join me as I recount my quest to smash stereotypes, dodge falling debris, and carve my own path into the wild world of digital construction consulting.
🚧 The Concrete Ceiling: A Bumpy Ride 🚧
Picture this: me, a woman with dreams as big as a skyscraper, trying to break into the construction industry.
But instead of a warm welcome, I’m met with raised eyebrows, skeptical glances, and the occasional:
“Are you sure you’re in the right place?”
Cue the eye roll. Yes, Bob, I’m sure.
Despite the doubters, I charged ahead, armed with determination and a hard hat that doubled as a shield against racism, sexism, and outdated attitudes.
Sure, I hit a few roadblocks along the way – like the time I was mistaken for the coffee girl on a job site.
(Spoiler alert: I only make instant coffee.)
But did I let it slow me down? Absolutely not.
I dusted off my boots, flashed my best ‘don’t mess with me’ smile, and kept on trucking.
🌐 The Glass Ceiling: Shattered Dreams 🌐
Just when I thought I’d conquered the concrete ceiling, along comes its pesky cousin – the glass ceiling.
Ah, yes, the invisible barrier that says:
“Sorry, ladies, but the top floor is reserved for the boys.”
Well, I’ve never been one to play by the rules – especially when those rules are as flimsy as, well, glass.
So, instead of waiting for someone to hand me a ladder, I decided to build my own staircase.
Armed with sass, smarts, and a killer LinkedIn profile, I set out to prove that women belong at the top – whether it’s in the boardroom or on the construction site.
⚡ Digital Disruption: Where the Magic Happens ⚡
But wait, it gets better. Just when I thought I’d seen it all, along comes digital construction consulting –
my ticket to freedom from the confines of concrete and glass.
With a few clicks of the mouse and a whole lot of hustle, I launched my own consulting firm, specialising in the digital realm.
Now, instead of banging my head against the concrete ceiling, I’m busy breaking down barriers with the power of technology,
and I’m helping construction companies revolutionise their projects, one pixel at a time.
So, there you have it – the tale of a woman who faced the barriers of the concrete and glass ceiling head-on,
only to emerge stronger, sassier, and more determined than ever.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this wild ride, it’s this:
Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back – it’s about kicking down doors, blazing your own trail,
and laughing in the face of adversity.
So, here’s to all the women out there who refuse to be confined by ceilings –
whether they’re made of concrete, glass, or sheer stubbornness.
Keep on smashing, ladies.
