Women empowering women: Adela Kastner
There are many exciting career paths and inspiring individuals at STIHL Tirol. Today, Adela Kastner shares insights into her journey, motivation and beliefs.
From production to quality management
A career at STIHL Tirol can take many directions, as Adela Kastner’s journey demonstrates. Today, she works in quality management and is responsible for internal and external audits, but her career at STIHL Tirol began in production. From there, she moved into event management, where she organised events and supervised numerous groups of dealers during their annual visits. These varied positions have given her invaluable experience and fresh perspectives.
Networking and mutual support among women
Adela is particularly committed to supporting women in the workplace. “Women can and should support and empower each other. Encouraging this sense of togetherness is important to me,” she explains. She actively fosters mutual support, believing that: “What could be better and more powerful than shared appreciation and unity?”
Advice for my younger self
“Not every word addressed to you is truly meant for you.” A strong mindset helps you follow your own path – undeterred by doubts and outside opinions. If you can focus on your own strengths, you can also pursue your own goals with greater self-confidence.
Words that motivate
A quote from Ella Fitzgerald resonates deeply with Adela: “Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.” These words underscore the importance of staying true to yourself and pursuing your passion.
Networking and collaboration within the company are essential for both personal and professional development. Commitment, mutual support and the opportunity to explore different areas can lead to exciting career paths – just like Adela Kastner’s.
