Women Thriving in Construction
Women Thriving in Construction (Ep 12) | Bill Proudman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we’re joined by Bill Proudman, co-founder of White Men as Full Diversity Partners (WMFDP), an organization that has worked for over 30 years at the intersection of leadership, equity, and inclusion.
WMFDP partners with leaders to build cultures rooted in courage, consciousness, and competency — environments where people feel seen, connected, supported, and proud to belong.
Bill shares the origin of his work, recognizing that people experience systems differently, and emphasizes that inclusion is not about blame or shame. It’s about acknowledging systemic unearned advantages and equipping leaders to steward meaningful, sustainable cultural change.
This conversation challenges leaders to engage thoughtfully and lead inclusively.
