I always thought that if I worked really hard that that was the most important thing, so it gave me some blind spots.
In this behind-the-scenes video extra, Monica Trauzzi and Katherine Hamilton, co-host of The Energy Gang podcast, talk about what it means to be a woman in the energy industry. After their conversation on clean energy, they opened up about the challenges women face in the workplace.
I feel like sometimes women are hesitant to even be real about what their experience has been. And I think that's doing a disservice to not share.
Working in traditionally male-dominated fields, women can experience sexism, discrimination and lowered expectations. Katherine and Monica share their experiences and don’t shy away from what they’ve faced and what they’ve learned. Their conversation explores how representation in the workplace can be empowering for women in STEM fields.
Young women listen and if they hear somebody who sounds like them, they can relate and feel like they have a place.
