Courage Over Comfort
Featuring Jennifer Lacy, Robins & Morton
Join us for an energetic and authentic conversation with Jennifer Lacy of Robins & Morton as she shares powerful insights on courageous leadership in the construction industry and beyond. Through a live interview and open discussion, Jennifer will explore what it really looks like to step forward even when confidence isn’t guaranteed.
Women across the industry will feel connected with Jennifer’s honesty, humor, and practical advice on leadership, growth, and navigating challenging environments.
What to Expect
During this engaging session, we’ll discuss:
• Doing it scared – taking action even when fear is loud
• Starting before you feel ready – why waiting for confidence can hold you back
• Navigating skeptics and judgment in traditionally tough industries
• Creating cultures where people feel safe to grow and lead
• Leaving with one actionable takeaway you can apply this week
Whether you’re an emerging professional or a seasoned leader, this event is designed to spark meaningful conversation, strengthen industry connections, and encourage bold leadership.
Meet Jennifer:
They say the third time’s the charm, which Jennifer Lacy might agree with in terms of how she found her ultimate career path.
Jen graduated from East Texas State University — now Texas A&M University-Commerce — with a bachelor’s degree in operations management and a minor in human resources. After that, she continued her education and earned her teaching certificate in English. Although her passion for education seemed like the perfect fit for teaching and coaching basketball and volleyball, she never felt like those fields were quite right for her.
Luckily, she found her niche when Robins & Morton opened their Dallas office in 2003. Read More.
