Constructing You

Constructing You

The construction and property industries are people industries, after all. Except, typically when we look at our built form, and ask, ‘who built this?’, the answer is a name of a company. But who are the people behind the projects, who are the ones who have brought them to life? That’s why my multiple award-winning podcast, Constructing You, looks at the people behind the projects, and I’m starting at the top. I’ll be sharing interviews with exceptional leaders, industry titans and young guns with you. I’m not only going to find out what they do, but also who they are, and who they’ve had to become to achieve what they have. What does it really take to become an exemplary, excellent and exceptional person behind the projects? Because I want to inspire and ignite you to become not just a technically apt person on projects. I want you to become an exemplary person behind the project, via learning from the people who have already made it. I want you to aim as high as the skyscrapers in your career, and life, by sharing the successful journeys of others so you can see what’s possible. Are you ready to work on your greatest project ever?

The nagging is the quite little voice within that's trying to speak the truth to you. 

But your unconscious belief system isn't allowing you to listen, because if you did, you'd likely realise that there's much more to you than what even meets your eye.
