Managing Oneself – Submitted by Silvia Bianchi
While preparing the next sessions for WIA Canada , We came across this article that represents some of the finding from the seminal article of Peter Drucker published in 1999 and the importance of managing and developing ourselves .
He reminds us to ask some fundamental questions : “What are my strengths? How do I perform? What are my values? Where do I belong? What should my contribution be? “.”Don’t try to change yourself”, Drucker cautions.” Instead, concentrate on improving the skills you have and accepting assignments that are tailored to your individual way of working. If you do that, you can transform yourself from an ordinary worker into an outstanding performer.”

International Women’s Day in Aerospace – Submitted by Sajedah Rustom
International Women's Day (IWD), celebrated annually in the first week of March, holds immense significance, especially in industries like aerospace, where women’s contributions have shaped history and continue to drive progress. Originally founded in the early 20th century as a platform for women to fight for labour rights, IWD has grown into a global celebration of women’s achievements in every sector—social, economic, cultural, and political. It not only honours the groundbreaking milestones women have achieved but also serves as a call to action for ongoing equality.
