Barb is a self-made woman who wasn't afraid to cold call, transform herself, and build herself a career many people aspire for. We discussed:
• Barb is a 3rd generation oil and gas professional who grew up in Bakersfield, CA
• She's lived through multiple downturns throughout her career
• She's worked in the environmental space and worked on projects such as filtering poisonous gases from wells in the 1980's
• Note: She references 128,000 - that's the concentration of H2S in the gas stream. Units are parts per million (ppm) , so 128,000 = 12.8%. For reference, breathing in 100 parts per million can kill you.
• Challenges of working with field staff
• We discuss social responsibility within the industry and the importance of acknowledging fear present in our communities resulting from energy production
• She plays hard - and she works sometimes!
• Course recommended: Compassionate Communication (also called Non-Violent Communication)
