“You are my energy sector hero” with Michelle Fraser

In today's episode we have fellow Podcaster Michelle Fraser. Not only is she the host and creator of Energy Sector Heros, she has also been a consultant in the energy and renewable sector for the past 25 years and most recently started a mentorship and career coaching program set out to help the younger generation find their feet within the oil, gas and energy field. She speaks about her career journey, from starting as a junior technician to working her way up to being a senior project development manager. She speaks about the struggles of being a woman in a primarily male dominated field, specifically trying to be seen and heard. She describes how she tries to be more vocal in a field where it is hard to get noticed, and speaks about the unpredictable nature of contract and consultancy work. She also speaks about her passion for helping others shape their career in the sector, and advising them on the best ways they can portray themselves and supports them in the transition into a full time corporate world. Michelle was a joy to have on and makes this episode one you won't want to miss.

If UK women matched UK men in starting and scaling businesses, it would add £250 billion to the UK economy (Alison Rose, The Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship 2018)
