Leading as a Woman in Construction with Terri Gaber of TEXO Construction Association

What does it take to thrive and lead in a male-dominated industry?

In this episode of Thinking That Matters, Elizabeth sits down with Terri Graber, Vice President of Training and Development at TEXO, The Construction Association of North Texas. Terri shares her remarkable journey from project engineer to executive leadership, and how she’s helping 20,000+ members grow through professional development.

You’ll discover:

• The biggest limiting beliefs that hold people back from promotions—and how to overcome them.

• Why separating work and personal life is a myth (and what to do instead).

• The real key to cultivating confidence, resilience, and growth in any industry.

• How Terri’s faith shaped her ability to let go of control and trust the process.

This conversation isn’t just for people in construction—it’s for anyone who wants to pursue growth, embrace challenges, and think better of themselves than limiting voices around them.
