Beating The Odds: Winning Strategies of Women in STEM

Despite decades of investment in women in STEM and more technical women entering the workplace than ever before the number of women in senior technical roles remains disappointing. How do we crack the code? Aiming to inspire and empower Beating the Odds highlights real-life success stories of technical women who made it. This book explores critical turning points that make or break careers and provides tools for putting insight into action -- both for women and organizations supporting them. Beating the Odds shares the challenges and triumphs of women in STEM and the often frustrating barriers they face in the workplace. Barriers that those of us -- women and men -- who support their advancement are all too familiar with. These are the experiences in their own words of female engineers and scientists who beat the odds to advance to director vice president or C-level engineering technical and scientific positions. Beating the Odds puts you in the shoes of women who have risen to success in the STEM field. And it shares strategies weve found to help technical women overcome these barriers beat the odds and find personal and professional success.
