This topic was chosen from the list as per Episode #2: Upcoming Podcast Topics to discuss. In this episode, Leslie speaks about how she initially felt compelled to avoid fellow trade women in an effort to avoid tarnishing her budding reputation as an electrician apprentice back in the 1990's. There was a tremendous amount of pressure in the beginning to work harder than her male peers, strictly stay on task, focus, and avoid anyone perceived as a threat to the working reputation. She has evolved since the early days and has embraced her role as a mentor and guide to anyone in need. This podcast episode attempts to explain how Leslie perceived the early years of her trade, personal challenges faced, along with the evolution of her career path over the past 28 years.
