Show Notes

How many times would people tell you 'no' before you believed you couldn't? For Telstra Energy's Nada Kalam, the first time someone told her that 'girls can't do engineering' was in high school - and it's lit a fire under her ever since.

In this episode of The Innovators we explore a recognised issue within the energy industry: women's representation. And, as an energy systems engineer with one of Australia's biggest energy consumers, Nada shares how Telstra is using renewable technology to fortify its assets and reduce energy costs.
