The Challenges For Women In Blue-Collar Work Are Real
Leadership Gems for Women
Ria Story’s character-based leadership program is for women who want to lead with 360° of influence at work and increase their influence at home. Usable gems. Not a pep rally.
What the Organization Gets: Women in the workforce who know how to develop their natural leadership strengths and increase teamwork.
What they learn in the room:
- How to lead with authenticity instead of a borrowed style
- How to build resilience when the job (or the room) gets tough
- How to model courage and confidence
- How to earn trust with crews, peers, and leaders
- How to leverage purpose and passion to achieve better results
Built For:
☑️ Women in leadership positions, project managers, estimators, and high-potentials in construction, trades, manufacturing, operations, etc.
☑️ Companies that value developing their female leaders
☑️ Women’s leadership workshops, women in construction events, “women in trades” conferences or breakout sessions
Not Built For:
❌ Those who want a “how to deal with men” session
❌ Those who desire more authority and power
❌ Companies that think women aren’t tough enough
How This Works:
Most companies begin with a 2-4 hour on-site session, followed by supporting book studies and access to Blue-Collar Leadership® Academy, so the training does not stop when we leave. Choose a package that fits your needs, budget, and aligns with how fast and how far you want to go.
1) A 30-minute Intro Call
We learn about your team, your challenges, and your goals.
2) Live, On-site Session
Most companies begin with 2-4 hours of training for the initial session.
3) Learn. Grow. Apply.
The live session is just the beginning. The Blue-Collar Leadership® books and Academy videos keep it from fading by next Friday. Behavior changes day to day, not in a day.
4) Improve Results
More respect. More trust. More influence.
