Working as a woman in a male-dominated industry has been both rewarding and challenging.
One of the biggest challenges isn't necessarily the work itself—it's sometimes having to prove your expertise more than others, finding your voice in rooms where you're underrepresented, and navigating assumptions that still exist in many workplaces.
At times, it can feel like you have to work harder to be seen, heard, and recognised. But it has also taught me resilience, confidence, and the importance of supporting others coming up behind us. The good news is that progress is happening. More organisations are recognising the value of diverse perspectives, and more women are stepping into leadership roles and paving the way for future generations. Route to Respect can help shape the future of your business. I do workshops with Women which help move your company forward in a positive direction.
