175+ Students in 5 weeks... Wrapped up another great "Launch with Confidence" Career Seminar today at The University of Texas Permian Basin sponsored by Diamondback Energy. Looking back, it’s incredible to see the impact we’ve had on students from University of Oklahoma, Texas A&M University, Prairie View A&M University, The University of Texas Permian Basin, and soon, University of Houston and Colorado School of Mines. We've been able to equip future leaders with real-world skills like building networks, communicating with confidence, crafting elevator pitches, and breaking through limiting beliefs. The truth is, how we communicate and connect shapes our career trajectory. Without the ability to influence, connect, and communicate effectively, our growth can hit a ceiling. That’s why mastering these soft skills is so important. A huge thank you to our sponsors— for making it possible to reach these students and empower them to launch and grow their careers. Diamondback Energy (TAMU, Prairie View A&M, UTPB, CSoM) AADE MIDCON - American Association Of Drilling Engineers Mid-Continent Chapter, IADC Oklahoma Texas Panhandle Chapter (OU) Digital Wildcatters - (UH) I’m excited to be launching a new immersive workshop for interns by Exec Crüe this summer.
