In this episode of "Breaking the Binary," we delve into identity, success and being an expert with Dr. Jessica Allen.
Dr Jessica Allen is currently a Senior Lecturer in Chemical and Renewable Energy Engineering at the University of Newcastle. Her research focuses on developing technology that can use renewable electricity for manufacturing green products from steel and aluminium to carbon and fuels like hydrogen and ammonia. Dr Allen is an engineer, a proud Novocastrian and mum of two (three if you include the dog…) who enjoys mountain biking and tap dancing.
We talk about the question asked to kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”. How building an identity as an adult is often about more than work, having multiple careers and focusing our energy on what bring us value and what problems we want to solve in the world.
We hope you find this episode interesting, we can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

In this episode of 'Breaking the Binary,' we delve into the often unspoken struggles of feeling like an imposter in the workplace. Join us as we sit down with Annie Chayko, the Engineering Service Manager for the locally built RAN Minehunter in-service-support at Thales, Carrington. Annie shares her journey from the early days of her career to her current role, providing an honest and vulnerable conversation about the challenges she’s come across, often as the only woman in an engineering space.
We talk about how feeling like an imposter is often a natural result of the environment we are in, especially in man dominated spaces; spaces that aren’t designed for women or gender-diverse people. We hope you’re encouraged to lean into what makes you special and know that your experiences, especially the hard ones, are an asset to you and make you who you are.

Welcome back to Breaking the Binary, we sit down with special guest Claire Quigley, Founder and Director of Launchpad9, to explore how diversity serves as a powerful tool for driving organisational success.
We delve into the fundamental definitions of diversity, and discuss the importance of diversity in fostering better outcomes and the critical role of diverse leadership in organisational performance.
Despite evidence supporting the benefits of gender diversity, the conversation shifts to why there remains a significant gender gap in corporate leadership and what actionable steps can be taken to address it. We also explore strategies for holding managers accountable for promoting diversity and making inclusive hiring decisions, as well as ways employees can drive inclusion up to leadership levels.
