A Snapshot of Resilience
Starting our conversation, Tracy introduced herself as the Director of Implementation, having dedicated four years to contributing to our growth at Pavion. Next, Corina, an HR Director, and Susan, the Chief Integration Strategy Officer, highlighted their respective journeys since joining Pavion in 2022 and three years ago, respectively.

Legacy of Women in History

Connecting history with their lives, our guests shared about women who have deeply inspired them. Corina pointed towards Amelia Earhart, the pioneering female pilot known for her spirit of mentorship and advocacy. Susan credited Marie Curie’s relentless pursuit in scientific discovery, emphasizing her resilience. For Tracy, the heroism of Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, resonated the most.

Overcoming Challenges
Addressing the barriers women have surmounted to achieve influence, Susan emphasized the importance of focusing on the journey, the ‘how’ rather than the ‘who.’ Drawing examples from their inspirations, our guests concurred that resilience, perseverance, and audacity to challenge societal norms have played a crucial part in overcoming those challenges.
