My first guest is Nitzeira Watson Stewart, legal representative of The Nautical Institute – Panama, and a recognised Top 100 Woman in Shipping.In this open, honest conversation, Nitzeira shares the real story behind her rise in a male-dominated industry: the doors that were closed in her own country, the international path she carved instead, the sacrifice of leaving to study with a newborn at home, and the relentless drive that helped her build credibility and leadership on her own terms.In this conversation you’ll hear about:How Nitzeira entered maritime and why she refused to quitMaritime law, leadership and the professional reality of “proving yourself”Age bias and gender bias in the maritime workplaceBuilding a global career without the “right contacts”The personal cost of ambition, and the role of support systemsThe community work she’s doing to lift other women up
