We're thrilled to invite to our upcoming workshop with She Drives Energy Coordinator, Miriam Baumeister, at the Hydrogen and Syngas Conference in Essen. We cannot wait to see you there!

Abstract:

Whether we know it or not, we all have unconscious biases. These learned stereotypes are automatic, unintentional and deeply ingrained in our belief systems. Although they often seem harmless, they influence our behavior and can also arise and impact us in our workplaces.

This interactive workshop aims to inspire and equip women in the energy sector to recognize, navigate, challenge and overcome unconscious biases and stereotypes. We will share personal experiences and lessons learned, explore the impact of unconscious bias, and discuss practical steps to break down barriers. By exchanging experiences and strategies, this workshop encourages attendees to believe in their potential, support each other, and actively contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future of the energy industry.

About the Speaker:

Miriam holds a master's degree in political science with a focus on equality issues. Since her youth, intersectional equality and participation have been matters close to her heart. As a ten-year member of the Youth Advisory Panel of Plan International Germany e.V., she has both attended and facilitated workshops on female and youth empowerment. In her role as network coordinator at She Drives Energy, she has also successfully led workshops and actively advocates for the empowerment of women in the male-dominated energy sector.
