KEY TAKEAWAYS

Mining is an evolving industry. There aren't a lot of women, but for those organisation that do see the value in diversity and inclusivity, the hiring of women has proved to be a huge benefit.
Mining is an industry in which we can always do better - we can always branch out and take chances and develop in a variety of ways.
The best careers in mining are those driven by purpose and intention. This allows you to best navigate through the challenges you will face in mining.
Women need to stand on their own judgment, and not emulate the leadership styles of me. If women are confident, then they are successful.
