SUMMARY:From potential to power: women in STEM leadership
DESCRIPTION:Women are an untapped skillset within STEM\, one that we need to utilise to bridge the skills gap and create better and more inclusive products and services. The barriers to achieving leadership parity are complex\, from unequal access to mentorship and career development opportunities to a lack of flexible working arrangements. As organisations continue to embrace diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, it’s crucial to recognise the systemic obstacles women face\, both in ascending to leadership positions and in thriving once they’re there. \nThis event\, From potential to power: women in STEM leadership\, aims to shine a spotlight on the unique challenges women face in STEM industries while exploring tangible solutions that can close the gender gap. \nWe’ll be welcoming four speaker’s exceptional women leaders who will explore actionable strategies to close the gender gap\, foster inclusive environments\, and empower the next generation of women leaders by discussing: \nMarina Dawes\, AWE \nHow flexible working empowered her to lead effectively and authentically. \nSusie Dixon\, Capgemini \nTackling leadership isolation and building influence while leading an all-male team. \nHollie Cregan\, GRAHAM \nInsights into the wins and challenges of leadership development programmes. \nClaire Thompson\, Balfour Beatty UK \nThe vital role of emotional intelligence\, resilience\, and inclusion in sustainable leadership. \n  \nJoin us for this in-person opportunity at IET Birmingham: Austin Court to share ideas\, learn from one another and develop new strategies to empower inclusive leadership in your organisation. \nBy prioritising inclusive policies and a supportive workplace culture\, we can unlock the untapped potential of women leaders and create more dynamic\, innovative organisations. \nWhether you’re a STEM leader\, an aspiring leader or looking for ways to better support women into leadership roles\, “From potential to power: women in STEM leadership” is an event not to be missed. \nRegister now
