DON WALL — Participating in the recent Toronto Construction Association YCL Women in Real Estate and Construction Panel were, from left: Carolina Miranda, Westbank; Julia Evangelista, Govan Brown & Associates; Caitlin Turner, HOK; design projects specialist Lisa Dyck; Denise Flemming of EllisDon; and Katya Shabanova, Cushman & Wakefield.
“I think the industry is very large and yet very small,” said Turner. “So the ability to be able to network, to make those connections, have those relationships, I think is really valuable, because you get by with a little help from your friends.”, using her networking skills demanded long hours, but she persevered because wanted to get to know the needs of a wide variety of potential clients.
“I wanted to just meet all of you all the time, to meet somebody that had a little bit of history like mine.”, acknowledged the commercial real estate sector is “very male dominated” but she believes that can be a benefit to women in that field today. “Trying new things is how you actually innovate, how you push the envelope and get to be known as a thought leader that someone wants to have on their team,” she said.
