November Lean In Circle Lunch: Top Up Your Tank
2020 has been a challenging year. Living in moments like these can take a toll. Join WOGA Board members Anna Thauberger, Dawn Lima, and Jennifer Perez, 7-year WOGA member Mandy Beavers for a frank discussion about support, communication, COVID fatigue and practical strategies for coping. We also have special guests Leah M. Hortin – Life & Health Coach and Lori Frederic – The Movement Ninja both of whom will take some time at the end of our chat to share with us some of their expert tips that we can put into action when we need to get out of our funk or our of our chair.
Anna is very passionate about connecting with women in the Oil & Gas industry in order to learn from, share experiences with, and show support for one another. She has served on the WOGA board for 8 years. She grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, but also called many other places ‘home’, including Germany and the US. The oil and gas industry has been a perfect fit for her for a myriad of reasons, including the warm comradery and unpretentious vibe, which feels comfortable for a farm kid like herself. Her interests are like her travels – all over the map! She loves everything from opera singing to folk dancing. She is always looking for opportunities to continue to serve the ladies in our industry however she can.

Mandy has been member and supporter of WOGA since its inception in 2013 and remembers the meetings where there were just a few women there. She’s been in oil and gas since 1987. She grew up in a very small town in South Texas with no connection to oil and gas – it was just luck she ended up in the industry. She’s have been selling pipe for virtually this entire time. She and her husband bought a little cabin near Allenspark about 4 years ago – it is their refuge from the madness of the city and our jobs. They love just sitting by the river and watching the wildlife. As Mandy nears the end of her career, she plans on taking more trips in their RV, exploring all that this beautiful land has to offer. They just returned from their second trip to Yellowstone in September and are truly in awe of its magic. Her passions have changed as she has gotten older and finds that physical things mean less and less to her, while connections with family, friends, and nature are more important than ever.
