Barbara Ganong, Principal at Zena Consulting

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) Barbara Ganong's LinkedIn profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-ganong-3a0552150/ Jake Adamson's LinkedIn profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-adamson-ei-git-a3bba4103/ Jake's email: jadamson@ruleengineering.com Ellen Scott's LinkedIn profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellen-scott/ Ellen's email: elscott6@gmail.com Mark Hinaman's LinkedIn profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhinaman/ Mark's email: mark.hinaman@ypenergy.org
