47: The Only Woman on the Construction Site with Renée Biery
Manage episode 471327077 series 3488502
You’ve likely seen this scenario play out—a homeowner has an idea for their remodel, the GC calls it stupid, and while he has a point, the homeowner’s feelings are hurt and no one’s offered a viable solution. That is precisely where we come in.
As interior designers, we are uniquely able to translate our clients’ ideas to the construction crew who can bring it to life. But there’s even more that’s at play when you’re a female designer on the construction site. Renée Biery joins me for a conversation about navigating being the only woman on a construction site. She’s a construction expert who regularly shares her knowledge with interior designers.
In today’s episode, Renée shares misconceptions around managing construction projects, the best approach to earn respect on a job site as a woman, and how client retention rates are impacted by project management. As always, there’s even more in the Coaching Corner for you!
