Being a woman in construction is a unique experience filled with challenges, opportunities, and moments that stretch us.

BuildHer Executive Retreat
The future of construction is exciting: it’s building science, it’s finish
materials, it’s old-world techniques, it’s transformative ideas, and it's a new sales pitch. While so much is unclear as our industry launches forward, what is clear is this: we’re sure to improve the industry, and our businesses, if we all stick together.

The BuildHer Executive Retreat is curated exclusively for female executives. This is an immersive three days where we will deep dive into
social media influencing, building execution, and client management.

Morning presentations will be given by female construction professionals who are proven thought leaders and industry influencers in their own right. Afternoons will involve bonding activities in beautiful settings designed for impactful networking and deep-rooted conversations.

To guarantee meaningful connections, we are limiting participation to a small group for an intimate setting. Plus we can only house so many of us within one home.

The Psychology of Negotiation for Bosses Who Mean Business with Allyson 
Allyson has successfully negotiated everything from intangible emotions to projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Whether across a boardroom table or a muddy jobsite, this keynote unpacks the psychology, posture, and presence behind powerful communication. You’ll learn how to shift energy in a room, navigate ego clashes, and close deals that actually stick. Expect a blend of physical and verbal tactics, nonverbal cues, and field-tested strategies that you can apply immediately. Straight from the front lines, this is the negotiation toolkit for leaders who refuse to leave money - or respect - on the table.
10 - 11 AM
Taming Toxicity: Understanding Trauma, Bias, and Behavior in Business with Allyson
Every leader eventually faces the unfixable client, the impossible coworker, or the deal that detonates midstream. This session is about those moments - when conflict turns personal, pressure peaks, and leadership is tested in real time. This workshop explores the psychology of toxic interactions: what triggers hostility, how to regulate your own bias under pressure, and how to lead through chaos without losing control. You’ll learn how to recognize manipulation, neutralize emotional escalation, and turn confrontation into clarity. The real measure of leadership isn’t how you perform when things go well, it’s how you show up when they don’t.

You will learn how to design a year with intention: one where your priorities show up first, your values guide your schedule, and your goals actually match the life you want to live. We will talk about building systems that support your energy, creating margin instead of chaos, and shaping a 2025 that reflects what matters most.

Roundtable Discussions

We'll be taking today to divide and conquer - offering smaller group sessions for a more intimate setting. Each round table session will last 45 minutes with a 15 minute break time in between.

Round Table #1:  Foundations for Success with Tanya Cromwell

Foundations for Success explores the daily habits that have shaped Tanya Cromwell’s life and career in the building industry. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jim Rohn, Tanya reflects on the idea that success isn’t accidental - it’s built intentionally over time. Through personal experience, she highlights the power of discipline, personal responsibility, and consistency, and how these quiet, everyday choices strengthen confidence, leadership, and resilience. Designed especially for women builders, this session reinforces a powerful parallel: just like the structures they create, the lives they lead depend on the strength of their foundation. What we build lasts because of what we choose to lay first.

Round Table #2: If You Don’t Control the Numbers, They Will Control You: Financial Mastery for Women in Residential Construction with Becky Hines

Financial clarity is one of the most powerful leadership tools you can have - and one of the most overlooked.
In this session, Becky Hines breaks down the financial side of residential construction in a way that’s approachable, actionable, and designed specifically for women in the industry. You’ll learn how to truly understand your numbers, make confident financial decisions, and stop letting cash flow, margins, or uncertainty dictate your next move.

This conversation goes beyond bookkeeping. It’s about ownership, visibility, and control - so you can lead your business proactively instead of reacting to financial stress.

Round Table #3: Next Era Strategy with GPT with Allyson Case Anderson
AI is quietly changing the math behind growth, scale, and leadership. This roundtable uses AI as a strategic mirror - challenging assumptions and pressure-testing strategic growth. What used to take years of hands-on experience will be done, right here, in minutes.
12:30 - 1:30 PM
Beach Lunch | Sponsored by Andersen Windows
