The sold-out Executive Leadership- Integrated Leadership Program kicked off this week, led by Doug Orr, Partner, and Laura Gironda, Principal, Heidrick & Struggles. The program gives participants the skills needed to lead their teams and organizations and provides them with the tools to become intentional and accountable leaders.
Molly Determan, President, Energy Workforce & Technology Council, delivered the opening remarks by welcoming participants and giving an overview of what participants could expect from the program.
Hosted at EWTC member company, Weatherford in Houston, 45 participants from 8 different companies were given the opportunity to engage in discussions with their peers, network with fellow leaders, and gain knowledge on how to become effective leaders.
Led by Doug Orr, Partner, and Laura Gironda, Principal at Heidrick & Struggles, the program offered participants a valuable opportunity to engage in thoughtful dialogue and hands-on exercises centered around leadership development. The sessions encouraged reflection, peer-to-peer learning, and practical application, all aimed at helping participants grow as impactful leaders within their organizations and the broader industry.
At the end of the session, guest speaker Clent Rawlinson, Senior Vice President, Process Solutions, DNOW, joined to share his insights into his leadership journey and how surrounding yourself with great people can lead to success.
In addition to the seminars for these year-long programs, participants engage in leadership development activities outside their company. They also attend at least two Energy Workforce leadership meetings, such as leadership forums, where participants engage and network with energy leaders from across the industry. The program includes executive coaching from Heidrick & Struggles as well as valuable mentorship from members of the Energy Workforce’s Board of Directors and Advisory Board. This gives participants a unique opportunity for strategic career advice and to develop relationships with industry leaders.
The Integrated Leadership Program is the second tier of the Leadership Programs offered by Energy Workforce, with others including Cultivating High Performing Teams and Cultures and Frontline Leadership.
