Books read
I didn’t read as much as I usually do this year, but here were my three most enjoyed/thought provoking books of 2023: Blood Like Fate by Liselle Sambury; SPIN Selling by Neil Rackham; and The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.
Community Partnership Events
2023 was my busiest in industry social circles since pre-Covid. Highlights from the year include:
- Coralus community meetups, such as monthly dog-walking trail walks and summer picnics;
- Running and participating in WISE with the backing of Women in Renewable Energy and the BC Sustainable Energy Association;
- Guest lecturing on project management for Dr. Stefania Pizzirani’s Environmental Studies class at the University of the Fraser Valley – I loved the thoughtful and inquisitive questions from her students;
- Running a workshop with Connecting Environmental Professionals (CEP) Vancouver; and
- Attending Clean Energy BC’s Generate 2023 conference, which led me to my new role.
