    S3 E9: Strategies for Achieving Net Zero: The Key Themes of Energy Transition w/ Hillary Stevenson

    In the ninth episode of Season 3, Hillary Stevenson  - Energy Enthusiast | Senior Advisor, Crude Markets @Validere talks us through what’s for lunch in the crude market and how to develop and implement a sustainability strategy. The total value of global carbon markets grew by over 20 percent in 2020—the fourth consecutive year of record growth. Compliance carbon markets (CCMs), where mandatory national, regional, or international regimes trade and regulate carbon allowances, play an increasingly visible role in efforts to reduce emissions. As the drive to curb global warming gathers pace, carbon markets have become increasingly fundamental to achieving net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions. One of the central questions top of mind for energy companies revolves around planning for tomorrow in light of the dynamic nature of those markets and technologies today. This is a great episode if you are interested in to the energy transition and need to develop a sustainable strategy for your company! Hillary Stevenson is the Senior Advisor, Crude Markets at Validere. With more than a decade of experience in oil market analysis, Hillary works closely with sales, product, services, and marketing to pair Validere solutions with customer needs to remove friction and add value in both supply chain operations and ESG initiatives. Hillary is a subject matter expert on crude oil trends and their impact on the North American crude oil supply chain, with particular expertise in Cushing oil storage, North American refining, and pipeline networks. Early in her career at Genscape, Hillary developed and deployed the industry’s first remote sensor surveillance network to provide never-before-seen granularity and transparency into crude oil supply and demand. Outside of work, Hillary actively participates in community engagement work and volunteers with Clothe the West, a mutual aid organization benefiting BIPOC children. She loves to cook, golf, practice yoga, and play pickleball. Her vision for the future is one where we have transparency into our energy supply and that our energy supply sustainably supports human prosperity. A future where data and facts inform consumer energy choices. Validere is a measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) SaaS company that helps energy organizations transform disconnected, incomplete data into clear and immediately actionable pathways to financial and environmental value.

    S3 E6: How to achieve sustainable success using Flow w/ Kristel Tuul

    In the sixth episode of Season 3, Kristel Tuul - a certified high-performance coach walks us through the concept of FLOW. Kristel is a certified women's high-performance coach. Before that, she was the head of digital growth and performance at CHOOOSE, a climate action tech platform, ran her own tech startup as head of sales and marketing, and did door-to-door sales for 6 years in the USA and Canada. Kristel helps female leaders & entrepreneurs become wildly successful while having more time for themselves. Her approach is science-backed and holistic where she helps women make their mindset, biology, and environment work for them. Flow is a state of mind in which a person becomes fully immersed in an activity. Positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi describes flow as a state of complete immersion in an activity. Being immersed can be defined as a state of focus in which a person is completely absorbed and engrossed in their work. While in a flow state, people are highly involved and focused on what they are doing. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost," Csíkszentmihályi said in an interview with Wired magazine This is a great episode if you want to learn how to get into a FLOW state and learn to manage your energy and not time.
