Manage episode 474904744 series 3386506
In this episode, I sit down with Trish Flores, a rising leader in the construction and engineering industry whose journey is a masterclass in resilience, authentic leadership, and personal growth. From starting her career in the Philippines with a degree in architecture to navigating leadership in the fast-paced U.S. construction sector, Trish shares powerful insights on balancing professional ambition with personal life—especially as a mom, business development leader, and first-generation immigrant.
We dive deep into what it really takes to scale without burning out, manage energy instead of time, and lead with confidence even when imposter syndrome creeps in. If you’re an entrepreneur, agency owner, or business leader at a career crossroads, this conversation will resonate. We explore lessons in self-awareness, how to lead teams through relational equity—not just authority—and how to pursue growth while protecting what matters most. Whether you’re navigating burnout, managing a team, or redefining your leadership path, this episode is full of practical insights you can apply immediately.
