Women in Steel, Women of Steel-Volume II

Volume II continues the empowering dialogue and initiative that you read about in Volume I. It is imperative that we highlight the diverse perspectives and contributions of women in traditionally male-dominated industries like steel and manufacturing. Showcasing the mindset of successful women in these fields inspires others to pursue their own nonlinear career paths while learning how to navigate and embrace challenges, seizing new opportunities, and creating a clear vision and road map for those who aspire to make a mark in their field.

Women in Steel, Women of Steel- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow – Volume I

Women are excelling in management and leadership positions throughout the steel industry and manufacturing. Women In Steel, Women Of Steel; Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow focuses on mentoring, how to create non- linear careers and what those career paths look like, saying “Yes” to new opportunities, work/life imbalance, personal branding, challenges/successes, translating personal strengths and weaknesses into professional strengths and weaknesses, career advice and life lessons.

The Language of Loss-Breaking the Silence-Starting Conversations about Loss at Work and Home

“The most forgotten fact in business is that we’re all human.” Employees deal with disruption around multiple life events every day yet life events are crushing employees, legally, financially, and emotionally.  Studies have shown that how a company chooses to address and acknowledge these events directly impacts productivity, absenteeism, work culture, attracting new employees, retaining the current workforce, and ultimately the bottom line.

The Language of Loss offers examples of how to have conversations around life events, and the aftermath of life events, at home and in the workplace.
