About the award
This interview selects women who are ready to expand their leadership and impact in technology. The panel looks for credible technical contributions, inclusive influence, evidence of developing other people and a focused plan for applying the fellowship in a team or community.
How to prepare
- Read the fellowship's official guidance for its current eligibility, themes and participation commitments.
- Prepare examples that show your technical judgement, influence and contribution to a shared result.
- Review one mentoring or community initiative and gather evidence of what participants learned or did next.
- Choose a leadership challenge you want the fellowship to help you address.
- Practise explaining a technical trade-off to a listener without your specialist background.
Common mistakes
- Listing technologies without showing the decisions or outcomes you owned.
- Describing inclusion as an aspiration without a practical example.
- Presenting mentoring activity without explaining what changed for participants.
- Giving a broad networking goal instead of a specific leadership development plan.
