6 HILLARY CLINTON 1994 Visible role model for women in the early 90 s Postponed her political aspirations to be First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS) Polarizing figure in US politics and culture criticized as much for her role as FLOTUS and work on policy, as her appearance (hair, fashion) To be taken seriously in 1994, women (and men) needed to look and act businesslike; in the early 90 s, the office uniform was flight attendant. 6

9 9 WHAT CHALLENGES ARE THERE FOR WOMEN IN INDUSTRY? Attracting women to the industry in the first place not all about hard hats and boiler suits. Dual career couples or women as primary carers for families often means limited global & regional mobility, which limits opportunities for upward advancement. Still a perception that women must compromise work/life balance to progress their careers. Still some senior roles or teams where there is not enough representation of women. Offering flexibility to women in senior roles continues to be a challenge. Although the industry has progressed, there remains Old School attitudes towards women in business in some parts of the industry and some parts of the world.

Increase visibility to girls making career choices while at secondary school Align community involvement efforts with organisations (like Engineering Development Trust) to demonstrate values and commitment to diversity Provide opportunities for mentoring and sponsorship to aid women in career planning Challenge what contribution in the workplace looks like, so family status is not an impairment to career progression Create networks which enable women to solve business problems, like how to do business in male dominated environments

Whether your agree with her politics or not she s a role model with talents, fallibility, experience and resilience, not to be defined by a uniform or being taken seriously. More than ever, we all can be ourselves, contribute and be valued.
