August Lean In Circle Lunch: Focusing on Feedback
Feedback is critical to personal growth, building trust, and developing relationships. Each of us has performance blind spots in our personal and professional lives. Learning how to ask for, receive, and give meaningful feedback will pay dividends. As a group, we’ll share our thoughts and experiences on giving and receiving feedback, then explore some best practices as well as make active commitments to take action.
Our speaker is Lia Fields! She has been part of the Oil and Gas space in Colorado since 2013 and serves as an Operations Technician for Bonanza Creek Energy. She has worked and led events for WOGA since her appointment to the Board of Directors in 2017. She coordinated the Lean In program for the 2018 and 2019 seasons and leads several Lean In luncheons. She has a B.S. in Genetics & Cell Biology and a B.S. in Biochemistry from Washington State University.

Annual Rocky Mountain Pipeliners Club Golf Tournament!
- The event will be held at Fossil Trace in Golden, CO on Friday, August 28th
- WE ARE SOLD OUT!!!! THANKS TO ALL WHO SPONSORED US AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!
- This tournament will benefit the Rocky Mountain Pipeliners Club Scholarship program.
- We look to provide support to what we feel is the most important commodity in our business, our workforce. Our scholarships go to help our employees out in the field, looking to improve their odds in a tough market through education. We provide funds to help a welder learn how to become a certified weld inspector, or a diesel mechanic to take his skills to the next level, or anyone employed in a technical capacity looking for help with that next certification. We have been able to help folks get raises, promotions and remain competitive in their careers. In our short time as a club, we have truly made a meaningful impact on lives and in our industry.
