We are often asked about what advice we would have for other women in manufacturing. At first, it was a difficult question for us to answer because we did not particularly focus on being women – we just were people working hard at doing the jobs we were engaged in. However, with the recent publication of our book, Steel Toes and Stilettos, we took time to reflect on this question so that we could share our insights, particularly if it helps anyone in the manufacturing environment to understand what was meaningful to us on our journey from engineer and supply chain professional to manufacturing executive and senior manager.
