Natalie Chapman got her first major leadership role in marketing not because of her science degree but because she worked at KFC in customer service & as a cook for 7 years, also managing staff. Life experience is just as important as qualifications. #SciPath18pic.twitter.com/jNeGZPJ4KH
Natalie Chapman is sharing her career failures, including reapplying for jobs years later. She says relationships are important. "You have to risk rejection. Not putting yourself forward and kicking yourself after is worse. Put your hat in the ring and have a go." #SciPath18pic.twitter.com/YYc7heQEWC

Second speaker for our panel is Kimberly Olsen, CEO of Trans Employment Program Australia. She worked in science, in chemistry & photography. At the time of her transition, she applied for 128 jobs and was unsuccessful, but received a position with Pride in Diversity #SciPath18pic.twitter.com/DfOPaHOO61
Kimberly Olsen: the training we concentrate on often focuses on pointing out differences. #Intersectionality is about seeing barriers and access of opportunities. She disagrees with setting quotas (which I advocated for in my talk). #SciPath18
Kimberly Olsen: we have to drop "cultural fit" from our language. It's about values fit & cultural add. How many transpeople miss out on opportunities because employers are scared? #SciPath18

A sign of a good workplace that values diversity is when you drive home and the only thing you think about is the work - not the things that were said about you or your culture or your difference. A good leader shows integrity in all areas. - Dr Soressa Kitessa. #SciPath18pic.twitter.com/cFYQv6t9kq
