Ep 82 Finding Your Voice Offshore: Leah Clough, Ørsted on Confidence and Career Growth
In this latest episode, WUN Advocate, Julia Stichling talks with Leah Clough, Offshore Manager at Ørsted
Leah is responsible for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of 384 offshore wind turbines on the West Coast. Driven by a vision of a world powered entirely by green energy, and a strong commitment to encouraging more women and young people into the sector, Leah brings honesty and perspective to the latest #WUN Finding Your Voice Offshore podcast.
We talk about Leah’s time working offshore as one of very few women on wind turbines, including the realities of that experience and how she came to realise that being female was not a disadvantage. From smaller hands to different ways of problem-solving, Leah reflects on how balancing strengths rather than trying to fit a mould helped her find her passion and ultimately progress into a management role overseeing hundreds of turbines.
Leah also shares candid insights into moments where she had to speak up for herself, how her confidence grew over time, and what she has learned about advocating for your own abilities while building a career you genuinely care about.
