In this Light Lunch Chloe Stephen, Regional Events Lead at the Building Institute gets to know Lyall Jellyman, Director and BR Flooring, and Alice Carmody, Quantity Surveyor and Choice Construction Group.

Alice and Lyall talk about innovation, embracing change, workplace culture, personal development, and well-being in the construction sector.

Key takeaways from their chat include:

• Innovation and Change - Encouraging creative thinking and innovation but putting frameworks in place.
• Transferable Skills and Self-Worth - Skills can be transferred from all areas of life, not just from previous jobs. Know your worth and being open to trying new things.
• Strong team culture is more important than strategy. Listen to your intuition and encourage autonomy in your team to empower your team.
• Mental Health and Well-being - Handling the tough days, expressing your emotions and being vulnerable.
