I help women in STEM who have hit a ceiling in their career to develop the clarity and confidence to make the leap to the next level. To this day, I check the bathroom situation in any interview I go to. People laugh, but it has been an issue in my early career. Particularly when I was working in a wider male-dominated industry, rather than just a male-dominated department (engineering). Now, ok, bathrooms are (mostly) the least of our worries now. But there are other barriers, visible and invisible, stopping women in STEM progressing to the next level of their careers. It can be subtle and it can be really obvious. Either way – after 20+ years working as an engineer in everything from heavy industry like steel and defence to more modern ones like pharma and medtech, there’s very little I haven’t come across: ->That manager who appears to support you, but equally always has an excuse for not allowing you to go on that training course or take on more responsibility. ->The senior manager who always stops you in the canteen but always has an excuse for not engaging you in exciting projects. ->The colleague with less experience who always appears to be asking you to prove you know your stuff. Unfortunately, none of these are unusual or rare. It happens a lot. And I can help you deal with all of it. We can work together to ->Develop strategies to deal with constant questioning of your expertise. ->Decide how best to approach your manager with requests for training or further learning. ->How to construct your CV to highlight the right skills in the right places. ->Develop a career plan that works for you. -> Get crystal clear on what you need and want from your career ->Isolate and overcome the limiting beliefs that are holding you back from the career you want and deserve!
