FORCE Forward: Your Monthly Challenge

Aug 6, 2026 | Career Growth, Free, Industry News, Leadership

Introducing FORCE Forward, a new monthly feature designed to help you turn inspiration into action. Each month, we’ll share a simple challenge focused on building confidence, strengthening leadership, expanding your network, or developing the skills that help women thrive in construction. Some challenges will encourage reflection, while others will push you to step outside your comfort zone or try something new. No matter the focus, each one is meant to be practical, achievable, and impactful.

This Month’s Challenge: Build Your Confidence

This month, challenge yourself to do one thing that feels just outside your comfort zone.

Maybe it’s:

    • Speaking up first in a meeting.
    • Sharing an idea you’ve been holding back.
    • Introducing yourself to someone new at a jobsite or event.
    • Volunteering to lead a project or take on a new responsibility.
    • Asking for feedback from someone you respect.
    • Applying for the opportunity you’ve been telling yourself you’re not quite ready for.

The truth is, confidence rarely comes before action. It grows because of it. And just like a muscle, your confidence will get stronger every time you put it to use.

At the end of the month, take a moment to reflect. What did you do that stretched you? What did you learn about yourself? Chances are, you’ll discover you’re capable of more than you gave yourself credit for.

One small step today can become the foundation for something much bigger tomorrow. Keep moving forward—we’ll be right beside you.

We’ll also be following up in our August Lunch + Learn, asking you to share your challenge experience with the FORCE community – so come ready to share!
