**Building Better: A Women In Construction Benchmark Study, Ambition Theory + NCCER 2023
The problem with most women in construction initiatives is that they focus solely on women. But women cannot solve the problem of gender inequality alone. Real change begins when everyone in a company understands how they can be a part of the solution and is motivated to take action.
Through captivating keynote presentations, immersive workshops, and targeted training, Ambition Theory’s approach empowers everyone to be part of the solution, driving meaningful and lasting progress. We help you reshape your organizational culture and build a workplace where women–and everyone–can thrive.
It’s no secret that your path to leadership as a woman in construction isn’t the same as it is for the men you work with. You face systemic barriers, deal with unconscious bias (and possibly straight-up discrimination) and you have to fight harder for the same opportunities.
The thing is, most leadership training is designed for men. It simply doesn’t work for women the same way it does for men.
Ambition Theory’s Leadership Accelerator Program is designed for you – a woman in construction. It helps you break past the barriers holding you back and become the leader you know you’re meant to be.
The proposal came from our diversity governance committee, and we ran with it, developing a highly satisfactory solution. There’s no doubt that this is a very promising start, as the program will enable us to further promote the advancement of women in leadership positions within our industry.
The stories and data were not surprising. What resonated with me most was how Ambition Theory presents the path forward
We are facing a war for talent. It used to be about getting people in the door; now, it’s about engaging that talent.
At Ambition Theory, we take an “above the line” approach. Instead of dwelling on industry challenges and assigning blame, we focus on seeking solutions, approaching problems with curiosity, and taking ownership. We empower everyone to help build a more inclusive workplace.
This is how we do it:
Our training addresses the unique challenges women face in male-dominated industries and was developed and tested with women in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sectors
Our training is informed by nationwide research and continuously updated with insights from our partners, like the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and the Society for Fire Protection Engineers.
We teach transformational leadership skills and produce tangible outcomes. Participants take immediate action, often leading to promotions.
Real results happen when participants apply what they learn. Our coaching and peer learning create accountability and encourage action.
