Growing up,
I was obsessed with cars and Formula 1, and because of that, engineering
was the path for me. When I was at high school,
I didn't do so great. But actually it wasn't
the end of the world. From a growth mindset point of view,
it's all about thinking, okay, you've put the effort,
you've got the passion and you ask people for support,
then you can do whatever you want. I've had opportunities
in terms of leadership training. I did a Master of Science degree and recently
an MBA. I've been
helped by coaches, mentors
and allies as well within the business who really care about
making sure that you're successful. What's great is that you can really follow
the direction that you want to go. You don't have to go a traditional route. When my leadership role
was first advertised, I didn't apply for it immediately
and it was really my manager that encouraged me
and helped me believe in myself. It's important for me that I work somewhere
where equity is front and centre. and we're not ju
st talking about it
that we're actually doing something. Siemens has really taken some great step
through leadership training, through the gender equity program and having opportunities such as part-time
working that will encourage more women into the workplace,
but also to go into leadership positions. It's a family here
at Siemens, it is all about the people. It's about the people in the societies
that we serve. It's about the people that work for us. It's about our customers as people. I thin
k that's a testament
to the great environment, the great culture that has evolved over
the years. Being seen is is all about,
you know, my opinion being valued. You know, I'm not a different person
when I walk through the door and hang up my personality actually being able
to be who I am is is really important. We want to create a space
where people thrive and they feel that can really belong, because ultimately
Siemens is the people that work here. So that is the
most important thing for us. I
first started running about 14 years ago
and it was my twin sister that got me into it
and it just grew from there really. 10k and then grew to half marathons
and then marathons. It's that growth mindset again. It's putting the work in, showing up
consistently and the results will come.
