----------------------------------------
The objective of Gaia Masterclasses (2nd Wednesday of the month) is capacity building, learning, contextualization, and exploration of 'Terra Nova' or "there be dragons territory". This can be seen as the tip of the Gaia learning spear.
In 2022, these sessions informed many decisions and useful actions including the launch of the Methane Emissions Management Technical Section. Methane Emissions elimination from our value chains is the most urgent and central role for our industry to create the biggest bang for our buck in an area of core responsibility that contributes materially to accelerating our net zero journey.
The next area of focus was Natural Capital and Regeneration. This did not preclude us from exploring other arenas where Measuring What Matters and sustainability will move the needle for our industry, but it does provide us the means to focus and continue the drive to "break the sustainability glass floor" and transform this topic into something frontline engineers and leaders can utilize in their net zero and sustainability journeys.
Please do share this invitation with colleagues and friends, SPE members or not, who you think can enrich to the conversation and engage respectfully with us and our esteemed speakers / thought leaders.
Ground Rules:
* We're here to learn together. Don't dominate the airwaves. Seek to make room to bring all the right voices into the discussion.
* Hold your position lightly, and seek to adjust it as new information is made available.
* Be respectful no matter what. It's OK to disagree with a point. It's not OK to attack a person. No ad hominem attacks. You will be removed and barred from future sessions.
* Seek to explore your own biases, and once you identify them, explain your biases to others as a prelude to the point you bring forth. By making our biases explicit, we can work to transcend them or at least formulate perspectives aware of the lens we peer through.
* Seek to enquire more than you advocate for your own view. We learn a lot more by asking better questions than repeating our position.
* Try to distill from the conversation salient takeaways, and consider how we could structure a future Gaia event to share those insights with a wider Gaia audience.
* Let's invite in different viewpoints and uncommon collaborators. Let's not set up another echo chamber. We have more than enough of those in the world.
* Recognize in "Terra Nova" there may not be one right answer yet, but there may be dragons!Thanks for all your support and engagement. This team of intrepid explorers is making a real difference for our industry. Please reach out to me with any ideas for a future session and speakers to invite.
