Today marks the second day of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Snake. The Snake, the sixth sign of the Chinese zodiac, symbolises wisdom, intuition, strategy and transformation. All these qualities define the inspirational women shaping the future whether they are leaders in STEM, construction or any other field.
At Stellar & Rose this feels personal. We are building our journey on insight, adaptability and continuous learning curve, especially when to strike with bold, strategic moves. The journey is similar for many women in STEM, construction and beyond.
This year, it feels even more fitting that we proudly stand as part of a campaign celebrating Inspirational Business Women in STEM and Construction, alongside Jomas, EY and Cultural Nexus, amplifying the voices of the trailblazing women shaping these industries.
The wisdom of women in STEM & construction
Just like the majestic Snake, an animal often misunderstood, yet revered for its intelligence, adaptability and quiet strength, women in STEM and construction have had to navigate their industries with precision, resilience and sharp intelligence.
Wisdom & intelligence: Snakes are symbols of insight and deep thinking and so are the women shaping STEM and construction. These problem-solvers, innovators and visionaries use their expertise to drive medical advancements, sustainable engineering and technological breakthroughs that transform the world.
Strategy: The Snake knows when to strike, moving with purpose and intention. Likewise, women in these industries are master strategists, leading projects worth billions of £, launching game-changing startups and breaking through barriers in leadership roles where few have dared to go before.
Transformation & renewal: Just as a Snake sheds its skin to grow, women embrace change, challenge outdated norms and reshape entire industries. They are building a future where diversity, inclusion and innovation are the foundation of progress.
Women in STEM and construction embody a graceful power, quiet determination and the ability to transform their environments in ways others can’t always see, until the change is undeniable.
A story of strength: Role model legacies and leadership
We believe that wisdom, strategy and transformation are passed down through generations.
A mother, a role model, teaches resilience, independence and how to navigate the world with intelligence. A daughter, the next generation, brings fresh energy, modern ideas and the courage to disrupt and rebuild.
Together, this dynamic creates a legacy of leadership that echoes through families, communities and entire industries. It’s the legacy that women in STEM and construction are building every day, inspiring the next generation to think boldly, act wisely and lead with purpose.
