IOM3 Investigates...WIM3: Stories of Setbacks and Success

Sanya Chhugani talks to members of the WIM3 Committee about career setbacks and successes.

Originally recorded as a live webinar ahead of International Women’s Day, this episode features members of the Women in Materials, Minerals and Mining (WIM3) Committee in conversation about career journeys, success and the setbacks encountered along the way.

Hosted by Sanya Chhugani AIMMM (Product Manager, James Walker), the panel brings together Dr Maria Holloway‑Strong CEng MIMMM (Principal Engineering Geologist, AtkinsRéalis), Jennifer Haigh CEng CEnv FIMMM (Mining Market Director, Veolia), Dr Margaret Wegrzyn MIMMM (Sales Engineer, VJ Tech), and Dr Fiona Robinson FIMMM (Principal Metallurgist, ENODA Ltd).

Drawing on their experiences across materials, minerals and mining, the speakers reflect candidly on what success looks like in practice, how they have navigated professional challenges, and what they have learned from moments of setback. The discussion also includes questions contributed by the live webinar audience.

This episode was recorded before International Women’s Day and has been edited from the original webinar for podcast listeners.

WIM3 forms part of the Institute's commitment to supporting and championing women across the sector, under the banner Together We Engineer.
