Take a seat on the NAWIC Couch with us as host Rachael Sharp (she/her) sits down with NAWIC CEO Cathryn Greville (she/her) for a special two-part conversation, unpacking the big themes raised in Seasons 1 and 2 and exploring how NAWIC’s strategic priorities are responding to them.

In Part 1, Cathryn talks openly about the state of the industry and why women’s participation can’t be optional. She urges us to aim higher and create workplaces that match the talent women already bring. Rachael and Cathryn reflect on culture, connection, and NAWIC’s role in supporting awareness and accountability, because real change needs both learning and the structures to back it.

This episode is a call to action for anyone who believes construction can be better, fairer, and more inclusive. Cathryn invites us to step up, use our influence, and help drive the change this industry is ready for.

Come and sit on the NAWIC Couch, as our host Rachael Sharp (she/her) chats with Bronwyn Porter (she/her), a project management leader with over 30 years’ experience managing complex projects across Defence, tertiary education, retail development, and property management.

The conversation also dives into leadership and vulnerability, including why a leadership course nearly made her walk away, and how she now encourages others to embrace openness in their own careers.
