About this listen

 This episode is sponsored by BD. Showing up as your authentic self in engineering isn’t always easy. In this conversation, Christine Kearney Hawkins, senior staff R&D engineer in BD’s Peripheral Intervention business and SWE life member, shares her 20+ year journey navigating authenticity, leadership, and innovation in STEM. From being told that she couldn’t be both an engineer and a mom, to learning that her bubbly enthusiasm is a strength and not a liability, Christine reflects on how embracing who she is shaped her career and impact. In conversation with host Sam East, hear how authentic leadership fuels better innovation outcomes, what to do when workplace feedback conflicts with your core values, and practical advice to create cultures where people feel safe bringing their whole selves to work. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting 50,000 members of all genders spanning 85 countries. We are the world’s largest advocate and catalyst for change for women in engineering and technology.
