Flight Paths to Success: Career Insights from Women Leaders in Aerospace

Authors: Rhonda Walthall, Brenda Mitchell

Flight Paths to Success profiles the personal journeys of 33 women who have been, and continue to be, successful in aviation, space, and academia. Each woman was asked to select one question of several questions in five categories: personal career insight, work-life balance, mentorship/sponsorship, avoiding a career stall, and powering through challenging situations. Each woman shared her unique experiences about work-life integration, resilience, career changes, relocation, continuing education, and career advancement. While reading their stories, we saw that there were many flight paths to success and each women navigated her own way by charting her own course and committing to it. Their stories were published as they wrote them—in their own words.
