A Strong Surrounding

Grit & Gravitas co-hosts Anne Deeter Gallaher and Anne Carnathan are kicking off 2022 with a blast of business vitamins from Laurie Lourie, Executive Vice President of the York Builders Association. 

 

Once known as a male-dominated industry, the building and construction fields have more and more women entering the profession and infusing the culture with optimism and a sense of trust--in your colleagues, in your partners, in your customers, and in yourself.  "Surround yourself with strong women and always listen to your gut," says Lourie.
