Oil and gas leaders are caught between the opposing forces of ESG expectations and anti-ESG backlash. And yet leading companies are not only continuing their ESG and decarbonization efforts, they are optimizing them. Why? And, how? In this talk, “Real Sustainability: How Oil and Gas Can Navigate the Era of Climate Justice and Woke Capitalism,” Tisha conveys what she’s learned from industry leaders since writing her most recent book, Real Decarbonization ®: How Oil and Gas Companies Are Seizing the Low-Carbon Future. The result?  Real sustainability work is the missing piece oil and gas leaders are using to rise above climate activism pressure, growing environmental justice expectations, woke capitalism, and empty ESG. Through this talk you’ll learn: how to reconcile directional ESG pressure with the rapid swings of the political pendulum; what makes ESG and decarbonization real and therefore sustainable; and, how to avoid the political perils of seeming to overreact and then overcorrect to both climate activism and anti-ESG efforts.

The Gamechanger's Playbook

The disruptions of the past few years have upended our lives and created unprecedented risks for the oil and gas industry—but they’ve also created an opening for oil and gas leaders to seize the energy future. In this keynote talk, Tisha addresses themes from her 2020 book, The Gamechanger’s Playbook: How Oil & Gas Leaders Thrive in an Era of Continuous Disruption. She outlines the three disruptors that have changed the risk landscape for oil and gas companies, the three timeless values that oil and gas leaders have drawn from for generations, and the three gamechangers that will allow our industry to move away from being disrupted to being the disruptor. Learn how you, the game-changing leader, can turn the risks of this moment into a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for leadership.
