Solar United Neighbors’ Post

Thank you Rachel Wainer for leading such a valuable strengths coaching workshop. And thanks to Mak Nagle for his leadership in seeing it through on our side. The question we are asking ourselves is, "how do we successfully originate, develop, construct, and operate #utility scale #solar and #BESS projects?" It starts with a team of bright and creative people. Thanks to this session and the ongoing coaching it now also includes a framework for how to build and empower project teams based on the unique strengths of the individuals.   Cannot recommend this enough. I'm sure there is value for many different industries, but especially if your workflow involves cross-functional project teams, this is a powerful tool to succeed on your objectives.

It's so inspiring to fight for the folks that need the most help! It's awesome to see such a fantastic "spread the wealth" approach to the Solar for All program. Low income homeowners everywhere will have renewed access to affordable clean energy. These monumental investments are easy to praise for their top line dollar figures and they should be, but don't lose sight of the benefits that these dollars are going to bring. Tens of thousands of homeowners are going to be benefit from these dollars. Lower bills Cleaner energy Cleaner air Healthier lives. I can't wait to see all these programs spin up 🚀 🚀 🚀 ______________ I'm Grant Gunnison Click my name + follow + 🔔 to learn how to get off gas and electrify P.S.

Great article from our friends at Time. It’s more important than ever to recognize that community understanding and engagement are crucial for a successful project. Every community is unique, so why are so many communications approaches the same? Here are some powerful takeaways we should all consider in our clean energy communications efforts: 1. Highlight Local Community Engagement: Building trust through meaningful community engagement is essential for effective advertising in clean energy projects. By addressing local concerns and showcasing the benefits to the community, campaigns can turn potential resistance into advocacy. Prioritize transparency and community involvement. 2. Tailor Messaging to Stakeholders: Customized messaging that resonates with diverse local stakeholders is key. Marketing campaigns should adapt to cultural, economic, and environmental perspectives to foster broader support for clean energy initiatives. 3. Use Collaborative Storytelling: Involving the voices of the community in your campaign narratives can be a powerful tool. This strategy creates a shared vision of progress, positioning the project as community-driven rather than imposed from the outside.

After 35 years in the oil and gas industry, I’ve made it my mission to ensure that my daughters—and all young women—have an easier path into the energy sector. Since 2017, we’ve hosted an annual event to empower them and reveal the vast opportunities in this field. Many don't fully grasp the entire value chain, often seeing only employment or entrepreneurship as their options. But the energy sector holds so much more. 💡 "A father’s legacy isn’t just in what he leaves behind, but in the doors he opens for his daughters." This event is about broadening horizons, equipping the next generation to thrive in all areas of the energy industry. Let’s ensure our daughters—and all young women—can forge their paths without limitations. 🌟
