Jessica Rietbrock - The Importance of Women Supporting Women

Allyship between women in the workplace is not a given, and STEM is no different.   Whether it’s because of a perceived need to be masculine to succeed, there are still outdated ideas of what it means to be a woman at work, particularly in leadership positions.   In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Jessica Rietbrock, who supports women in STEM in the North West of the UK through her community. Jessica shares her own experiences in the workplace that have shaped who she is and how she acts with others. We explore the importance of vulnerability in professional settings, particularly for women in STEM. We also discuss the challenges women face in the workplace, including the need fo support among women and the impact of masculine and feminine energy in leadership roles.   There is a real need for allyship and support from both men and women, which can only help to foster a positive workplace culture.   Jessica has some incredible insights into what should happen to enable women in STEM roles to truly enjoy and succeed in their work.   “Women supporting women in STEM is crucial.” - Jessica   You’ll hear about:   00:00 Embracing Vulnerability in Professional Settings 08:03 Navigating Women in STEM: Challenges and Support 15:50 The Impact of Masculine and Feminine Energy in Leadership 25:22 The Challenge of Vulnerability in Leadership 29:11 Navigating Masculine Behaviours in Leadership 32:57 The Importance of Allyship and Support 36:48 The Need for Recognition and Feedback 42:10 Creating Supportive Communities for Women in Science   Jessica’s resources:   Jessica’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicarietbrock/ North West Women in STEM on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/northwest-women-in-stem/   My resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/martina-n/   Keywords   vulnerability, women in STEM, leadership, support, professional growth, gender dynamics, sales, personal development, empowerment, mentorship, vulnerability, leadership, women in STEM, allyship, feedback, recognition, corporate culture, imposter syndrome, support networks, women empowerment
