To celebrate Mothers Day we are “rewinding” back to one of the first episodes we recorded featuring the highest ranking woman in the oil drilling industry, Kim McHugh.
While studying petroleum engineering at Texas A&M, Kim played on the Aggie volleyball team and advanced to the NCAA tournament! She rose to become the Vice President of Chevron’s Drilling and Completions and today attributes her mental strength to her experience on the court.
“You can do more than you think you can,” she explained. “It is your mind that stops you.” In this episode, you will learn how to lead with empathy, communicate clearly, and fairly assess feedback from this proud mom.
To all of the mom’s listening today, Happy Mother’s Day! I respect your commitment and appreciate all that you do!
You will learn:
"Don is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for a long time and every time we talk I walk away wiser and more inspired. He is the best in the business at teaching you a skill – storytelling – that will last you a lifetime.”
“The ability for athletes to get hired is carried on through you because you are putting out the message that lessons learned from sports are important in life. It is embedded in this podcast, what you’re doing is significant.”
We speak the same language. I am inspired by the stories you tell, the people you have met, and the things you’ve done. Those of us that are competitors like to follow others that have been down that journey, so it is always fun talking to you!”
“Many of the leaders I have worked with were excellent athletes, and I think there is a direct correlation. You’re one of the few people that really has pursued this study, Don. Keep up the great work. What you are doing really makes a difference.”
“Don, you have mastered the skill of interviewing and asking great questions. That is a great skill all leaders need in order to understand their team members’ thought processes.”
