Paul Gordon sits down with Dr Susan McGinty - an award-winning scientist and highly regarded leader and leadership coach, with 25 years’ experience in STEM, Defence and National Security. 

Susan is on a mission to transform the profile of leadership for women in STEM- and security-related organisations. 

However, this is no easy-feat! 

Traditionally the STEM and Security industry is male dominated with limited opportunities for women to find the support, guidance, resources and training programs they need to become leaders or enhance their careers. Thankfully, the industry across the globe is taking steps to remedy this and encourage diversity across all dimensions - enabling a more collaborative and empowering space for our future leaders. 

How are we going to develop our climate change policies and the technology to support these policies without diversity? 

Listen as Dr Susan discusses the common decision ailments she faces. What diagnosis will Paul help provide?
