You already know what you need to say. You know when a decision is wrong. You know when a boundary has been crossed. You know you should have pushed back in that meeting, asked for the pay rise by now, said something to the colleague who keeps undermining you. The problem is not capability. It is words. This playbook gives you the exact words — for five of the hardest conversations women face in construction, mining, engineering, government and agriculture.
What’s Inside
The 5-step EverBold Confidence Reset - use it in five minutes before any high-stakes converstation
The BRAVING trust framework (Brene Brown) applied to each conversation, so you understand what is actually at stake
Five complete conversation frameworks, each with a step-by-step approach and word-for-word scripts
Write-in worksheets to prepare for your specific situation, not a generic scenario
A quick reference scripts page you can print and keep at your desk
The Five Conversations
When You Are Talked Over or Interrupted
Scripts for three situations: mid-sentence interruptions, having your idea repeated as someone else’s, and the room moving on without acknowledging you.
Asking for a Promotion or Pay Rise
The four-part structure for this conversation, two complete opening scripts, and exactly what to say when they tell you it’s not the right time.
Pushing Back on a Decision Made Above You
How to surface risk without derailing your career. Includes the rule of specificity and scripts for when they push back on your pushback.
Setting a Boundary with a Colleague or Manager
The EverBold boundary structure: state it, name the impact, ask for what you need, name the next step. Scripts for both peer and manager situations.
Addressing a Team Member Who Undermines You
How to address it privately and specifically. Scripts for the opening conversation and for when they deny or deflect.
This is for you if:
You work in construction, mining, engineering, infrastructure, government or agriculture
You are the only woman, or one of very few women, in most of your professional rooms
You know what you need to say but freeze when the moment comes
You have ever stayed silent because you did not have the words for the room you were in
You want practical tools, not motivation

Frequently Asked Questions
What format does this come in?
A 22-page PDF delivered instantly to your inbox after purchase. You can read it on any device, print it, or keep it on your desktop for reference.
Is this relevant to my industry?
It was built specifically for women in construction, mining, engineering, infrastructure, government and agriculture. The scenarios, language and examples reflect technical and operational environments, not corporate offices.
I am not in a leadership role yet. Is this still for me?
Yes. These conversations happen at every level. Being talked over in a meeting, asking for a pay rise, setting a boundary with a difficult colleague — none of these require seniority. They require clarity.
Can I use this for my team?
This licence covers personal use. For team or organisational use, please contact hello@everboldventures.com.au for bulk pricing.
What if I want more support after reading it?
The EverBold Confidence Foundations session ($299 AUD) applies these frameworks directly to your CliftonStrengths profile and your specific situation. Your playbook purchase is credited in full toward that session.
The conversations in this playbook are not comfortable. They are necessary. This playbook does not make them easy. It makes them possible — with the right words, in the right order, for the rooms you are actually in.
