Ask an Ambassador

By Christine MacMillan | Women Offshore Blog | Podcast Episode 247

In Episode 247 of the Women Offshore Podcast, we’re sharing the audio from a previously recorded Ask an Ambassador event hosted by Women Offshore Executive Director Liz Schmidt. This conversation brings together several Women Offshore Ambassadors from across the maritime and offshore industries to answer questions submitted directly by our global community.

Drawing from their lived experiences at sea and ashore, the Ambassadors offer candid insight into career development, leadership, navigating transitions, and building confidence in traditionally male-dominated environments. Their perspectives span multiple sectors, roles, and regions, highlighting the many pathways available within the maritime and offshore workforce.

This episode reflects the heart of the Ask an Ambassador series — creating space for honest dialogue, shared learning, and practical guidance rooted in real-world experience. Whether you’re early in your career, exploring a transition, or seeking reassurance that you’re not alone in the challenges you face, this conversation offers meaningful reflection and actionable takeaways.

Tune in to Episode 247 to hear the questions our community asked, the advice our Ambassadors shared, and the conversations that continue to shape careers across the industry.
