Women in male-dominated trades face a double standard.

Stay quiet and get overlooked.

Speak up and risk being labeled bossy, aggressive, or difficult.

Important issues go unspoken, stress increases, and capable workers disengage in an effort to stay safe

Assertiveness is not a personality trait.

It’s a learnable communication skill.

Built for blue collar realities. Training is practical, direct, and immediately usable.

Adaptable for contractors, and mixed-trade environments
