Future Women Leadership Series

How often are you the only woman in the room? In Dr Bronwyn Evans' four decades in engineering she's been the sole woman more times than she can count. But instead of discouraging her, it often motivated her to work harder than her male colleagues. Host Helen McCabe asks Dr Evans what progress she's seen in her career, and what advice she has for women in industries that are still working towards gender equality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Friendship can often get in the way of business. It can be hard to lead alongside your friends, or tell them what to do. But when it's done right, friendship can also lead to a  productive work culture, a motivated team, and innovative ideas, as with Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw building their business Keep it Cleaner. Host Helen McCabe asks Steph and Laura how they navigate their friendship, what leadership and success mean to them, and how beauty expectations in their industry are constantly evolving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
