"For anyone, women especially who are interested in the energy and climate space, I would say that you shouldn't feel that you need to choose between the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. I've been able to continue to build my expertise in the energy and climate space, but from multiple different perspectives. My advice would be to just not feel that you need to pick one of those lanes and, and to take the risk to bounce between those different segments of our economy." 

Claire Seaborn on Electric Ladies Podcast

Summer is a good time to think about your next career move. These five women trailblazers have some great advice. These are all women who Joan Michelson interviewed at length on Electric Ladies Podcast over the past year, and who have all broken down barriers to get where they are, blazing a trail for the rest of us.

They each advocate for and/or work directly in energy, climate, sustainability and ESG – environment, social, governance – and share actionable tips that every woman (and man) can apply today.

This episode brings you advice from:

•    · Hilary Doe, Michigan's Chief Growth Office on how the state is turning IRA Credits into Growth – and the first person in the U.S. to hold that kind of role.
• Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, on the politics of energy and infrastructure
• Claire Seaborn, former Chief of Staff to Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources on what the U.S. can learn from Canada's energy policies

·  Tensie Whelan, Founding Director of NYU Stern on why sustainable business is good business. 

·  Zara Summers, Chief Science Officer at LanzaTech about innovative ways that recovered carbon is making its way back into our daily lives.
