Empowering Women in HVACR: Ruth King Reflects on 20 Years of Progress
Tersh BlissettEpisode Description
When Ruth King and friend set out to find other female technicians in the HVACR industry in 2002, they only found a single Canadian technician. But this discovery was only the beginning of an inspiring journey for Ruth and her organization, Women in HVACR. Through scholarships, mentorship, and ambassador initiatives, they have broken down barriers and given countless women the opportunity to pursue a career in the industry - and they're not done yet. Who knows what unexpected success this organization could achieve next?
Women in HVACR started in 2002 with just 10 members, but after 20 years of tireless effort, the organization has grown to over 900 members. Their hard work has paid off, as they have received recognition and funded scholarships for women pursuing a career in HVACR. However, a shocking moment has left the protagonist questioning whether they can continue to make a difference in an industry still plagued by outdated attitudes. What the future holds for Women in HVACR is uncertain, but they remain committed to driving progress and promoting opportunities for women in the industry.
If you're feeling frustrated, helpless, and discouraged after taking steps like attending professional conferences, joining industry groups, and networking without seeing any progress toward increased support and opportunities for women in the HVACR industry, then you are not alone!
On this episode of the Service Business Mastery podcast, hosts Tersh Blissett and Joshua Crouch interviewed Ruth King, a renowned author in business, leadership, and personal growth. The discussion covered a wide range of topics related to managing a successful and profitable business, including marketing, pricing, and human resources. As the recipient of the Flame of Spirit award, Ruth King shared invaluable insights on navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, which could be beneficial to anyone looking to make a positive impact in the HVACR industry.
