We often speak about being a minority in a male dominated industry as being a potential disadvantage but maybe sometimes it can actually be an advantage? For oh I don’t know something typical like stunt boat driving for Cameron Diaz???
In my podcast interview with Sarah Donohue at Southampton Boat Show she told me about the opportunity she had to be a stunt driver for Cameron Diaz because she was the ONLY powerboat racing driver that was female in the UK - so maybe sometimes it can actually work to our advantage to be the fewer in numbers occasionally. Having said that, I suspect she would have achieved it anyway competition or not - she's perfect for the role. Sarah is a dynamic and incredible person with a self-belief and confidence in herself that is admirable and aspirational. Listen to my interview with her as we explore how she got into this incredible space and how much she enjoys not only the racing but being part of making this sport safe and accessible to others all over Europe.
Sarah is a keen marine conservation advocate, commercial diver, freediver, stingray diver, climber and marine biologist in study, she was also nominated as a 'Woman of Achievement' at 'Woman of the Year' in London several years ago. One of her proudest moments.
Her energy exudes into the microphone - I know you will enjoy and be inspired by this one. Enjoy Nicky x
