    Sober in Sales feat. Courtney McKendrick-Sanders

    This week on BuildHERS Club, Teresa and Xanica sit down with Courtney McKendrick-Sanders for a conversation about a side of the industry that doesn’t get talked about enough, sales culture and the role alcohol often plays in it. From happy hours to client dinners, so much of relationship-building in construction and sales happens around a drink. But what does it look like to show up, build real connections, and succeed when you’re sober? Courtney shares her perspective on navigating those spaces, setting boundaries, and staying confident without compromising who you are. Together, they explore how the industry can evolve to be more inclusive of different lifestyles and choices. It’s an honest, refreshing conversation about redefining connection, challenging norms, and building success on your own terms. Available on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.
