Construction is tough but does it have to break people? What if resilience could be built into our teams just like steel and concrete?

In this powerful conversation, Stephanie Wood (CEO of CoBuild Construction) and Jordan Leytem (Field Operations Manager) share how they’re reshaping construction culture by focusing on people first. Their work brings neuroscience, leadership, and heart together to create teams that don’t just survive the pressures of the industry but actually thrive.

We cover:

• The science of resilience: expanding and returning to your “window of tolerance”.

• Why grit and resilience aren’t the same and why you need both.

• Real strategies for helping supers, foremen, and trade partners regulate under stress.

• The power of naming emotions to reset thinking and problem-solving.

• How leaders can measure what truly matters: flourishing people, not just profits.

If you’ve ever felt the burnout, pressure, or fight-or-flight mode of construction leadership, this episode will give you a new framework and real tools for building trust, balance, and resilience on your projects and in your life.
