    EP 78: Building The Bridge...with Kimberly Sauceda

    In this episode of the Constructive Behaviors Podcast, I sit down with Kimberly Sauceda to talk about what it really takes to build strong relationships at work-and why those relationships are often the difference between teams that struggle and teams that thrive. Kimberly shares her journey from leading roles in major companies like Apple and Logitech to becoming an executive coach focused on helping leaders and teams create better connections and stronger outcomes. We dive into her "build the bridge" concept, what it means to create real connection instead of just going through the motions, and how small, intentional actions can completely shift the way teams work together. We also talk about: Why one person can start building the bridge The difference between transactional vs. relational interactions How expectations, alignment, and curiosity impact team dynamics And how to repair relationships when things break down If you've ever felt the tension of misalignment, poor communication, or just "not clicking" with someone at work, this episode will give you practical ways to approach those situations differently.

Shannon shares her unexpected path into the construction industry, how she built credibility from the ground up, and the role relationships played in shaping her career. We break down the difference between mentorship and sponsorship, why sponsors are critical to career growth, and how showing up, asking questions, and staying curious can create opportunities you never planned for.

    EP73: Gear that Fits_with Michele Moran & J.J. Keller

    What happens when safety gear finally fits women the way it should? It increases safety and changes more than comfort...it changes confidence, credibility, and culture. In this episode, Michele Moran, Senior Portfolio Leader at J.J. Keller & Associates, talks about how the company decided to start designing a safety line for women. From attending Women in Construction events to gathering hands-on feedback from tradeswomen, Michele shares how J.J. Keller’s women’s line of PPE came to life ...and why fit matters not only for safety and performance but for belonging in the industry. Michele and I also dig into the creation of JJ Keller's Women's Safegear Reversible Puffer Vest (featured in the 14%ers October Anniversary Box) and how collaboration between women-led initiatives and established manufacturers can drive real change in construction culture. Key Takeaways: Ill-fitting PPE doesn’t just create safety risks, it sends the wrong message about who belongs.When manufacturers listen to women in the field, design gets smarter, safer, and more inclusive.J.J.
