Ep 84: Paving the way for women in construction with Kelly Cartwright

The Purpose-Led Leadership Podcast

Construction is a man’s game, right?.....Wrong

There are still industries that have preconceptions about whether men or women are best suited to work in them. And construction is one of them.
