The Founder of Girder Skirts
The Tradeswoman Tigress
Hey everyone, I'm Allison "Ally" Jencson, President and CEO of Frontline Floor Coatings (a specialty construction trades business providing concrete polishing and epoxy coatings), and founder of Girder Skirts™, soft skills and resilience education and coaching for women in construction. I am fiercely passionate about helping women be successful in the construction and trades industries. I have spent my entire professional career in male-populated industries. I have over 17 years of experience in specialty trades. I know it takes more than hard work and dedication to have a successful career, and business and run a family at the same time. It takes being a rebel and doing things differently!
Growing up as a military BRAT (thank you, military friends and colleagues!!), I had to figure out pretty darn fast how to be adaptable to a constantly changing environment. Moving every 2-3 years does that to a person. As a result of my incredible upbringing, I developed great empathy, adaptability, and communication skills. Being in construction where communication, not just between genders but overall, seems to be one of THE biggest challenges, I created Girder Skirts in 2017. Here, I provide soft skills training and resilience coaching for other women in this industry.
Today, I bring my innovation, resourcefulness, and rebellious spirit to my businesses, my master class participants, small groups, stages, corporate training, or coaching groups with a passion for inspiring women to step into their confidence and unleash the badass I believe resides in all of us.
I am still an active female business owner at Frontline Floor Coatings, and I have been on both sides of the proverbial fence. I’ve been in the trenches doing the dirty construction site work as well as the “behind the scenes” challenges of running a business as the CEO. Did I mention running a family as well? I had limited access to mentors within the construction industry, and very few females to model myself after. I had to learn how to be brave and embrace my leadership abilities. Through overcoming business and personal challenges, I have aligned with my “inner rebel” AND built badass businesses. I want the same for you!
After celebrating 10 years with Frontline Floor Coatings in 2022, my passion for coaching and supporting women in the construction industry has grown. In addition to my specialty trades business (concrete polishing and epoxy coatings), speaking and facilitating quarterly master classes, I host a podcast, Girder Skirts™ the Podcast.
