Todd Takes
1. Construction has a marketing problem. We, as an industry, must start doing a better job telling the true story of innovation and career opportunities this industry holds. If you are not telling your story, you leave it to others to fill in the gap with inaccurate information. People want to hear the success stories that are out there. Make sure they are bridging the gap correctly.
2. Put your passion on display for others to see. When someone is truly passionate about something it becomes contagious to others. Go talk about your work and why you care about it to others inside and outside of construction.
3. Mike talked about the value of attending various user conferences and learning from peers. I agree. There are some really great options out there, even in our mostly virtual world. Put yourself out there and get involved whether it is at MEP Force, with MCAA, NECA, SMACNA, AGC, ABC, etc. Pick your acronym but get involved.
