Ep 334: Women Leading Change in Construction With Turner

This episode is sponsored by Turner. Blanca Diaz, vice president and construction executive at Turner, and Leah Turner-Jenkins, special projects division manager at Turner, started in the same university engineering program — but their careers took sharply different paths. In conversation with host Sam East, Blanca and Leah reflect on the pivotal teachers who steered them toward engineering, their experiences navigating massive construction projects, and how Turner supports women in the field. Hear what it takes to thrive in an industry that demands both technical expertise and people-centered leadership, and what they each learned along the way about leading change. ----- The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting 50,000 members of all genders spanning 85 countries.
