Girder Skirts

With Ally Jencson

Dee Davis - Project Management Expert | Educator | Sustainability Advocate

I had the honor of being a guest on the Girder Skirts podcast with Ally Jencson.  Girder Skirts is a podcast all about women in the construction and automotive trades.   

I shared my experience starting out in the trades as a carpenter to running multiple businesses of my own. I provided detailed stories about how I got my start in the industry, some of the big challenges I faced early in my career, and how I managed them.   

We discuss the strength of coming from a place of “I don’t know” and being willing to leverage the experience around you to accelerate your learning, how to stay motivated and get rid of the negative self-talk that plagues us all from time to time.  We also discuss work life harmony, business travel, maintaining relationships with family and friends, favorite foods and outdoor hobbies.
