In considering the African proverb, "It takes a village," in the context of the professional rise of a successful female engineer, this event explores the components of the community that were impactful in the speaker's journey.
The stories will be a thoughtfully curated examination of our speakers' challenges, encompassing both their professional and personal lives. The event sheds light on the impact of unique circumstances, whether they served as driving forces or presented formidable obstacles.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the various factors that have influenced our speakers, ranging from supportive communities to demanding situations that compelled them to adapt. Central to this event is a deliberate focus on the decisions made by our speakers, spanning from those that led to positive outcomes to others that might have been regrettable.
Attendees will have the opportunity to witness candid discussions surrounding these choices. The event strongly emphasise learning from setbacks, recognising how adversity and missteps have contributed to the speakers' personal and professional growth. In essence, this event provides a profound and perceptive examination of the multifaceted journeys undertaken by our speakers.
