Cleaning Up An Environmental Catastrophe

The Community Aspect of the Deepwater Horizon Emergency Response presented by Dan Tober

Sometimes in life, we have a scary opportunity to work on a tremendous problem that is impacting ordinary people. While you may have training and some experience, there is no preparation to tackle what looks insurmountable. How do you walk into a village on the coast of Louisiana during one of the worst oil spills ever with the loss of life, and say: "Hi, I am from BP! I am here to help!"?

This presentation is about Dan's story, told with photos, how he walked into that village with the roles of Public Liaison, Operations Section Chief, Information Officer (media) and Safety Officer to set up a response base with over 700 responders to assess and clean up the environmental catastrophe.

Dan will share other aspects and experiences of leadership when dealing with complicated situations involving multiple stakeholders.

Dan wants you to be inspired to take on challenges, be who you want to be and enjoy a fun and successful life! Be prepared to be engaged in conversation!
