Celebrating 2024: Growth, Leadership, and What’s Next
Year End Reflection
As 2024 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the moments that stood out - the people, the milestones, and the progress we made together. This year was more than just about checking off goals (though we did plenty of that!). It was about showing up, stepping up, and making moves that matter.
Here’s a look at what we accomplished together:
Celebrating Women Leading the Way
This year, I had the privilege of supporting incredible women as they stepped into their power and took their leadership to the next level:
Sarah*, after committing to the Mental Fitness Bootcamp, landed her dream role at her dream company. Five years of hard work and perseverance - followed by six weeks of dedicated commitment to her growth - led to this moment, and the excitement she feels for what’s ahead is proof of what’s possible with a growth mindset.
Erin* shared how the leadership coaching and tools she learned have completely transformed how she shows up - both at work and at home. She’s now navigating difficult, highly emotional situations with calm confidence, spending less time ruminating, and enjoying more balance and peace of mind.
Fatima* reflected on how coaching has reshaped her perspective entirely. She’s no longer easily triggered by that difficult boss and shared how proud she’ll be, looking back at her career and the person she’s become.
Jackie*, hesitant to apply for a leadership award, took the leap with a little nudge from me. Her courage paid off, and she was recognized for her her leadership and innovation. I loved celebrating her from the sidelines!
Amber* returning to work after maternity leave, found our coaching together to be exactly what she needed to navigate such a pivotal and challenging time with clarity and confidence.
*Names changed for privacy.
Seeing their hard work pay off and knowing I played even a small role in their journeys - it doesn’t get better than that and I’m so incredibly grateful.
Speaking Up for Change
Standing on stage at the Young Women in Energy (YWE) Summit in Kananaskis back in February of this year was a highlight. The collective energy and ambition in the room was amazing. The summit's focus on '3D: Diversification, Decarbonization, and Digitization' offered a chance to explore actionable steps for leading these important initiatives, highlighting the urgent need for equity, diversity, and inclusion in our male-dominated sector. I had the privilege of contributing to these conversations by facilitating a workshop on 'Mastering Difficult Conversations' and leading an executive coaching session on the topic of 'Defining Success on Your Own Terms'.
Another highlight was moderating a panel of powerful and inspiring women CEOs at the CAMPUT Conference. It was incredibly inspiring for me and the 500 attendees to hear about their career paths, some of the challenges they've overcome, and their collaborative approaches to driving sustainability and diversity in our industry.
From workshops to coaching sessions, I partnered with women and organizations to tackle some of the real challenges of leadership:
Prioritizing and focusing on strategic growth when everything feels urgent.
Navigating self-doubt while stepping into bigger roles.
Communicating with confidence, even in the most challenging situations.
Looking back, I stretched myself too. Over a dozen speaking engagements this year - standing up, sharing insights, and facilitating meaningful discussions. I’m proud of the courage it took to get up there. But more than that, I’m proud of the impact these conversations have and I’m beyond excited that it’s just the beginning.
“You are successful only when you measure yourself against your own progress. Measuring backward turns everything into a win, no matter how small.”
Looking Ahead to 2025: Big Plans, Bigger Impact
Next year is all about building on the momentum of 2024 and scaling impact. I’m thrilled to be launching WATT—Women Advancing and Thriving Together, a program designed for mid-level women leaders who want to lead with even more confidence and impact.
WATT is a high-impact initiative that brings the kind of executive-level tools and strategies usually reserved for the C-suite to women navigating leadership challenges and opportunities at every level.
I’m also excited to be partnering with other organizations like Canadian Women in Energy (CWiE), Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW), Young Women in Energy (YWE), and The Prosperity Project to deliver workshops and programming that will amplify our collective efforts to empower women to thrive and advance in their careers. Stay tuned!
What’s Next
2024 was a year of foundations. 2025 will be about growth, connection, and taking things to the next level.
This year reinforced something I’ve always believed: when women support women, we all benefit. The work isn’t done - but the path is clear, and I couldn’t be more excited to keep building with all of you.
To the leaders I worked with in 2024: Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.
To those I’ll meet in 2025: I can’t wait to see what we’ll create together!
