Meeting Civil Construction by Embracing Change

Change often leads us to paths we never expected. My journey into the civil construction industry wasn’t part of a grand plan—it was the result of embracing change and the opportunities that came with it. What began as a supportive role while traveling with my husband’s work quickly turned into a transformative experience that shaped my career and personal growth.

How Embracing Change Introduced Me to Civil Construction

"By traveling with my husband’s work, I got to know the construction industry intimately by default," I often share. Initially, I was simply observing the intricacies of the industry, from the equipment to the processes. Over time, I began to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the sector.

This hands-on exposure wasn’t just about learning; it sparked a newfound curiosity. I began to see the potential for growth and innovation in civil construction. The experience opened my eyes to the possibility of carving out my own space in this traditionally male-dominated industry.

Learning and Growing by Embracing Change

Stepping into civil construction required a willingness to learn, adapt, and challenge preconceived notions. I found myself constantly embracing change—whether it was understanding technical operations, navigating workplace dynamics, or discovering my own capacity for leadership.

Every challenge was an opportunity to grow, both personally and professionally. It reinforced the idea that growth often comes when we embrace the unfamiliar and take risks.

Building a Career by Embracing Change

The decision to fully immerse myself in civil construction led to the creation of my own business. What began as a single truck grew into a thriving operation. This journey required resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to embracing change at every turn.

Key Takeaway: Embracing Change Opens New Opportunities

Sometimes, the most transformative experiences come from stepping into the unknown. Embracing change not only introduced me to civil construction but also taught me invaluable lessons about adaptability, resilience, and personal growth.
