On Friday, the Young Professionals of Unitil (YPU) had the privilege of sitting down with five members of Unitil’s leadership team for a panel discussion on the pivotal moments that shaped their careers, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and their perspectives on what it takes to grow and lead. George Anderson and I had the honor of co-moderating the conversation, which explored several key themes including their career journey, skills and growth, mentorship and visibility, company and industry perspectives, and personal reflections and advice. A few of my favorite takeaways from the discussion included: ⚡ Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you ⚡ Luck comes from putting yourself in the right place at the right time ⚡ Dress for the job you want, not the job you have ⚡ Show up with good character, aptitude, and motivation. This is the perfect combination of leadership qualities that drive success ⚡ You can feel any emotion toward the outcome of an event (sadness, anger, happiness, etc.) for 24 hours. After those 24 hours, it’s time to move on. I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom and insights shared during our time together and look forward to applying these lessons in my own professional journey. Thank you Thomas Meissner, Robert Hevert, Kat Bourque, Christopher LeBlanc, and Dan Hurstak! Your personal experience and insights are truly inspiring, and we are psyched to be the next generation of leaders here at Unitil! 📸 Jason Schreiber
