SUMMARY:MAL FY26 May Event: Beyond the Pipeline: Redefining Success\, Values\, and Career Pathways in STEMM with Cassie Leonard
DESCRIPTION:Many women in engineering reach a point where\, on paper\, everything looks right\, yet something still feels off. The role is prestigious. The trajectory makes sense. The expectations have been met. And yet the sense of fulfillment does not always follow. \nIn this interactive session\, we will explore why success can feel misaligned for high-performing women in STEMM and what you can do about it. Drawing on her experience as an aerospace engineer\, executive coach\, and author\, Cassie Leonard blends personal stories with evidence-based models to help participants recognize common sources of friction in technical workplaces and develop language for naming them. Together\, we will reflect on how definitions of success evolve over time and consider practical\, sustainable ways to navigate careers with greater clarity\, alignment\, and longevity. \nYou will leave with language and practical frameworks to better understand misalignment\, redefine success on your own terms\, and navigate your career with greater intention. \nSpeaker Bio:\nCASSIE LEONARD (she/her) is an engineer\, twotime bestselling author\, and dedicated working parent with 19 years of experience in technical leadership and executive coaching. Through her company\, ELMM (Engineers\, Leaders\, Moms\, and Mentors)\, she helps working parents and allies in STEMM grow fearlessly\, connect wholeheartedly\, and design careers that actually work.\nAerospace is at her roots. With degrees from UCLA and the University of Sheffeld\, she spent 16 years climbing the corporate ladder from entry-level analyst to Senior Aircraft Integration Leader. Today\, she pairs that technical grit with mom skills to help clients reverse-engineer their own version of success.\nAs Editor and Lead Author of Beyond the Pipeline: Redefining Value\, Success\, and the Future of Women in STEMM — Together\, Cassie collaborated with women and allies worldwide to create an insightful\, practical\, and action-oriented exploration of today’s technical workplaces. Beyond the Pipeline has been an international bestseller since its launch in August 2025. Her first book\, STEM Moms: Design\, Build\, and Test to Create the Work-Life of Your Dreams\, launched her into this global conversation with stories and solutions for solving the partial differential equations of life as a mother in a male-dominated industry.\nHome is in the Pacific Northwest\, where she lives with her husband Patrick and two sons. When she’s not coaching or writing\, you’ll Ϯnd her on the sand with a volleyball\, on a mountain bike trail\, or exploring the wilderness with friends on cross-country skis.\nConnect with Cassie\nELMMcoaching.com or Cassie-Leonard on Linkedin \nTweetShareShare0 Shares
