ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode (recorded about a year ago) I speak with Lorrin Blair - a former Woman in Construction turned Woman in Tech. A Civil Engineer by training, she spent the first part of her career supporting construction jobsites all over North America. It was on construction sites where Lorrin first developed her leadership skills and styles - uncovering inefficiencies, leaning in on hard work, and finding ways to improve the worklives of people around her.
Lorrin pivoted into a career in technology more recently to take those lessons learned and improve the industry through construction and design technology, first at PlanGrid and now at AutoDesk where she now leads a team of Technical Solutions Consultants.
Lorrin and I chat about her journey into people-management and some of her early lessons learned - and specifically where to focus energy, relationship-wise, to best get set up for personal and team success in the long run.
