Meeting/Event Information

Part 2 of a 2-Session NAWIC Firestarter Series

This in-person workshop builds on the concepts introduced in Session 1 and turns them into applied skills you can use on the job tomorrow. A short refresher will ensure new participants can easily join the conversation.

Through real construction-site scenarios, small-group practice, and simple tools you’ll learn how to:

• Respond to dismissive or intimidating behaviors
• Navigate microaggressions that undermine confidence
• Escalate concerns effectively and safely
• Support other women through allyship and informal networks

The session also introduces the “magic middle” of allyship and three practical micro-interventions, echoing, bridging, and buffering, that help create safer, more respectful jobsites.

Participants will leave with a personalized strategy, a simple formula for building new communication skills, and renewed confidence in keeping themselves and others safe.
