Dismissed and Dismantled: Women's Technical Acumen in the Pool Industry

Ask a question hereWelcome to another episode of Talking Pools, the podcast where we dive deep into the fascinating world of pool professionals. I'm your host, Kelli, and joining me today is my co-host, Dan. In this episode, we tackle an important issue that many women face in our industry – being dismissed by men when their technical skills are required. We share stories and shed light on this pervasive problem, including an incident I personally experienced where a man boldly took a screwdriver from a woman student's hands during a training session, stating that she wouldn't be needing it. We also discuss the controversial topic of men mimicking women's training programs and the subsequent uproar it has caused within our industry. Whether you're a male or female pool professional, this conversation is a must-listen, as we explore the challenges and seek solutions for a more inclusive future in our field.
