Engineering Your Future with Jossie Haines

Description

June 23 marks International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), a global celebration of the women designing, building, and shaping the future around us.

In this episode of the Empowering Women Podcast, Shannon sits down with Jossie Haines - Princeton-educated engineer, technical Emmy Award winner, former VP of Engineering at Tile, and executive coach for women in technology leadership.

With more than 25 years of experience spanning Apple, Zynga, and Tile, Jossie has seen both the incredible opportunities and very real challenges that come with building a career in engineering. From navigating burnout and imposter syndrome to creating her own executive role and helping leaders thrive in the age of AI, Jossie shares an honest and refreshing perspective on what it means to lead with both ambition and humanity.

Together, Shannon and Jossie explore belonging, career reinvention, workplace culture, networking, and why the most valuable skills in an AI-powered world may be the most human ones.
