In this episode, we welcomed Stacey Fore and Stephanie Gorton to the show, two influential trailblazers in the HVAC industry. Our focal point? Addressing the pervasive issue of sexual harassment.

We also explored effective ways to support and advocate for each other in times of vulnerability. Join us in this powerful dialogue for change and transformation. Here are a few key highlights from the episode:
Sexual harassment isn’t always black and white, how do we identify sexual harassment before it becomes blatant? What are the ways we can build our own self-confidence to advocate for ourselves and push back when being sexually harassed? In order to have this kind of conversation inside the companies and be coached before the fact could happen, what do you think are the key components of training our team around sexual harassment? Children are part of the transformation, too. In what ways can we teach our children to be better from the start? As a leader in this industry surrounded by a majority of male networkers, what advice do you have for them sitting and interacting around? This episode hit a lot of us right in the feels. The issue of sexual harassment will sadly never go away, and we need to be advocates for change and transformation. If you, are someone you know, is being sexually harassed you do not need to be alone in this.
