Episode 8

In the episode, Patricia Haywood, a construction lawyer, discusses the unique challenges and opportunities she experienced as a woman in the male-dominated construction industry.

Detailing her journey, Patricia shares how she entered the industry, the surprising scope of career opportunities in construction, and the joy and satisfaction she discovered in contributing to various projects.

She also reflects upon the industry's issues, such as the low percentage of women in high-ranking or decision-making roles and the sexism faced by women at the workplace.

Patricia talks about 'Women in Construction Week', a dedicated time to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of women in the sector while also discussing necessary changes for making the environment more welcoming for women.
