Building a Career Without Losing Yourself, with Sheliza Kassam, P.Eng.

Season #4

Engineer Your Success, Leadership & Life Harmony Like a Mother Guest: Sheliza Kassam, P.Eng.

What happens when a chemical engineer, charity founder, and rising leader sits down to talk about what it actually takes to build a career without losing yourself?

This one is packed.

Sheliza Kassam is a Field Operations Project Manager at Pembina Pipeline... a P.Eng. with experience across upstream, midstream, and downstream... and the founder of a charity she started at 15 that has thrown over 300 birthday parties for kids in shelters across Canada.

She's young. She's often the only woman in the room. And she's figured some things out.

[4:00] What leadership actually looks like in the field... and why being the youngest in the room is harder than being the only woman

[10:00] The moment she lifted a pig on a pipeline site... and what putting yourself in an operator's shoes does for your credibility

[18:00] Work-life integration in a career that wasn't designed for you... the transparency strategy that changes everything

[26:00] Systems, calendar blocking, and how a ADHD diagnosis led her to spin class and better concentration

[33:00] The 4x framework... how to link your role to the bottom line so you're never the one on the chopping block

[40:00] Personal brand as a career strategy... why the women who speak up for themselves are the ones who get to choose what's next
