My guest this week on Scilence fell into the relatively new world of Cybersecurity. From a young age, her adaptability as a character was perfectly suited for this industry, despite the fact that cybersecurity did not exist when she was a little girl. She and the industry have grown together, and she has closely observed the differences between men and women in that process.
Women have a very different perspective on their abilities. We tend to downplay our strengths, for example. Today, she realises that we have the power to choose how we see the world. Yet often women can be their own worst enemies. There was a time when women wanted to be more like men, forgetting how naturally empathetic and ethical we can be - these characteristics should be celebrated, not hidden!
Ultimately we need to ask what we want to receive out of our careers and what our goals are? For my highly ambitious and laser-sharp guest this week, her children are now her priority. She's a mum before she's an executive. She's confident about her attitude and believes there should be more women at senior level, to spread this very maternal perspective.
In this episode we get honest about self-worth, gut instincts and the dangers of saying yes, when we mean no. And by the end of the show, we come the crucial conclusion that we must all strive to be ourselves and spend time, only with those who believe in us!
