🎙️ Women in Collision Repair, Leadership & Opportunity!

We’re so proud of Laura and her dear friend and fellow industry leader, Kristle, for being invited to join a podcast conversation focused on Women in Collision Repair, leadership, and the opportunities ahead for women in our industry.

The conversation also highlighted WIN - Women's Industry Network and the incredible impact it continues to have on women in collision repair. Laura currently serves as the Chair of WIN, proudly becoming the organization’s second-generation Chair following in the footsteps of Geri — a role that carries both a lot of meaning and a great deal of opportunity to help shape the future.

Kristle is also an active member of the WIN Board, making this a special conversation between two women who are not only passionate about the collision industry, but are committed to supporting, mentoring, and creating opportunities for the next generation of women leaders.

We love seeing Laura and Kristle use their voices and experiences to help elevate others and shine a light on the many possibilities within our industry. 💪✨

Be sure to give the podcast a listen and hear their conversation for yourself! 🎧

Some stories are about much more than business. ❤️

The story of Geri and Laura is about family, trust, hard work, and carrying something meaningful into the next generation.

Passing a family business along isn’t simply about handing over the keys. It’s about preserving the relationships, values, and personal touch that have made the business what it is — while giving the next generation the opportunity to make it their own.

We’re honored to share Geri and Laura’s story in AutoBody News and the heart behind their journey.

A Minnesota shop's mother-daughter handoff suggests delegating real authority and explaining why customers trust the business.
