5 Major Reasons Why Women In STEM

Don’t Have Their Dream Careers

 

 

Calling All Overworked & Under Valued Women in STEM

Imagine Having a Clearer Path to Your Dream Career.

    

    Women in STEM are taught to be world class but no one teaches us the necessity and importance of a mentor, an advocate, a career strategy to excel with our expertise beyond the cubicle. I’ll help you change that (and it’s much easier than you think).

 

     Yet, those thoughts of breaking barriers in corporate can seem daunting.

 

     One thing’s for sure, it’s not for a lack of ambition. We both know the proverbial “plate” of a woman in STEM is packed to the gills. Between (what’s left of ) your personal life and career demands, there’s little room for anything else.. especially creating a strategy to have a career we’d LOVE.

 

     However, when you do allow yourself to “go there” and dream about playing an even bigger game, the old voice of reason crashes the party every time:

 

• “How will I secure prime projects?”

• “What about getting a well earned promotion?”

• “Won’t the bigger, more established male engineers get the jobs over a fellow woman engineer?”

• “How will I manage my already hectic life AND a new promotion?”

• “I don’t have a chance as a woman, especially, if I’m a Woman (of Color). “

• “I don’t know the first thing about running an entire department, I’m a scientist/an engineer!”

  

So you silence that inner desire of climbing the corporate ladder because, let’s face it, we’re analytical and we’re wired to do everything with precision and avoid foolish risks.

 

Just the thought of following that voice, sometimes, feels like nothing more than a selfish day dream that could land you in a whole heap of trouble.

I get it.

Hi! I’m Michele Heyward…

10+ Year Construction Engineer

Strategic Growth & Business Consultant

Founder of WOMEN IN STEM: Awakened. Renewed. Unleashed Virtual Summit 2017

 

 

Let me tell you, no one knows that voice better than my clients and myself.

That’s me in the picture. Michele Heyward..

Construction Engineer by day and Strategic Business Consultant to my fellow STEM professionals by night.

 

     Just like I suspect you are, I’m passionate about solving the alarming diversity and inclusion issues that are still prevalent in the STEM world today. That’s why my mission is to empower women and women of color to thrive in the STEM profession by strategically planning and executing their own careers. (It’s what I call “Option #3” but more on that in a second.)

 

      I’ve helped minority engineers navigate the same “sticky” situations you’re facing, so they can transition from enduring the corporate struggle to accelerating their dream careers in the back of their minds.

    

     Contrary to What Generations of Conditioning Tells You, I Want to Assure You, You CAN Make that Dream Career a Reality Whether You’re:

 

:: Currently employed but not on your dream career path,  

:: One of the 40% of women who obtain a STEM degree and completely leave the STEM field, or

:: Realize you have to do extra work to reach your dream career.

 

Why Survive When You Can Thrive?

 

By now you know (between your restlessness and the family time you’re missing out on), a corporate STEM career doesn’t always mean receiving the positions we’ve earned  (especially for us, women and minorities).

Beginning in 2009, the national longitudinal study, conducted by Nadya Fouad, PhD, and Romila Singh, PhD, of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, surveyed over 5,300 women who had graduated with an engineering degree and here’s what they found:

 

Among the 38 percent of women who entered and subsequently left the field, 30 percent cited organizational climate, characterized by non-supportive supervisors or co-workers and general incivility, as a primary motivator.

Nearly half left due to working conditions, like frequent travel, lack of advancement opportunities or low salary.

 

• One respondent in the study (working in industrial engineering) said, “It is hard to justify the long hours to go nowhere.”

 

Based off my own experience working 10+ years in the field and the experience of my clients and contacts, these issues are widespread (and judging by the last 50 years, they’re not likely to disappear any time soon).

 

Until now, that many have turned to the first option. Many more have lived the second option.They struggled immensely.

 

From getting promotions and raises, to finding mentors and advocates, there’s so much to that can TRIP you up (if you’re not ready), most women in STEM fail before they get a chance to find out the secrets to success in this game.

… and that’s exactly why I created the Hidden No More – Career Strategy Program.

How Does It Work?

 

This is a 6 week group coaching program that’s personalized to fit

Why Coaching?
