What does it really take for a woman to succeed in a male-dominated industry?
In Steel Toe Truth, Sharon Jost shares her powerful journey from single motherhood to becoming a respected safety professional and business owner in the demanding worlds of oil, gas, and construction.
Returning to school at thirty-eight, Sharon refused to let circumstances define her future. Through years of long shifts, remote job sites, harsh conditions in Alaska, pipeline projects in Pennsylvania, and major industrial construction projects in Texas, she learned that success isn't about being the loudest person in the room-it's about consistency, preparation, endurance, and integrity.
This inspiring memoir offers practical lessons on:
✔ Building confidence through competence
✔ Earning credibility in male-dominated workplaces
✔ Leadership without ego
✔ Resilience under pressure
✔ Career growth in construction, oil & gas, and safety professions
✔ Entrepreneurship and building a business from the ground up
✔ Empowering women to succeed in challenging industries
Whether you're a woman entering construction, engineering, trades, manufacturing, safety management, or any demanding profession, Steel Toe Truth provides honest insights, encouragement, and real-world wisdom from someone who has walked the path.
This is more than a career story-it's a roadmap for perseverance, leadership, and building a legacy that lasts.
