What if 25 million engineers felt truly seen and empowered to shape our future?

Andrea Clough's vision for engineering transformation starts with a radical insight: the key to solving global challenges isn't just technical skill, it's helping brilliant minds feel valued for who they are, not just what they build.

In this Contours episode, we explore Andrea's journey from feeling unseen as a Hungarian child in communist Romania to becoming a coach who unlocks potential through the simple power of "tell me more."

Her childhood experience of power outages sparked a lifelong question:

Who controls the infrastructure that shapes our lives?

The answer, engineers, led to a deeper realization about untapped human potential.

Key insights for changemakers:

• Why seeing people fully is the foundation of effective leadership.
• How childhood experiences of being misunderstood fuel empathy-driven impact.
• The transformative power of curiosity over fixing in coaching relationships.
• Why self-love and inner peace directly amplify external contributions.
• How one person believing in your capability can become an "eternal power source"

Andrea's approach proves sustainable change starts with the person in the mirror.

Her framework for self-discovery through curiosity offers a practical path for any changemaker ready to move beyond external validation toward authentic impact.

Whether you're leading technical teams or building grassroots movements, Andrea's story demonstrates how seeing yourself becomes the foundation for seeing and empowering others.
