Description

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Bobby Stewart, CEO of Breck Construction, a Saskatoon-based commercial and heavy industrial contractor with projects spanning across Canada. 

Bobby is reshaping the construction industry as she leads one of the few women-owned businesses in this space. 

Bobby is an innovative, diverse leader known for her ability to build strong teams and deliver results. Beyond her role at Breck, she serves on several boards, including the Saskatchewan Industrial and Mining Suppliers Association (SIMSA), where she is set to take on the role of incoming Vice-Chair.

During our conversation, we explored a range of insightful topics:

• The strategic decision to transition Breck into a woman-majority owned and led business.
• Breck’s growth from a scaffolding services company to a multi-trade construction powerhouse.
• The importance of selecting the right partner for women aiming to build impactful careers.
• Bobby’s thoughts on her responsibility in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in a male-dominated industry.
• Our shared frustrations around the pushback on EDI/DEI efforts in the U.S. today.
• The value of trade associations and the importance of having a solid value proposition.

This episode is packed with wisdom, leadership insights, and inspiration, particularly for those passionate about innovation, diversity, and making an impact in business.
