Friday morning, one week later.
After spending the past week in Abu Dhabi with one of Hudson Engineering's major clients, Castello Consolidated Industries (CCI), I was jet-lagged and tired.
Earlier in the week at CCI's main auditorium, I presented the company's latest well integrity technology that aimed to reduce environmental risks and minimize non-productive time for jobs performed on the rigs.
Of course, I didn't do this alone—I took Elise Blatt, one of Hudson's chief engineers responsible for this new technology, to answer the in-depth technical questions from CCI's engineers after the presentation was finished.
It was also an opportunity for Elise to really shine during a meeting later in the week, where she engaged directly with the client on trialing her work on selected oil fields.
It was our teamwork that contributed to securing bigger projects with CCI later down the track, elevating Elise's position at Hudson Engineering.
One of the important things I learned in my career was the importance of women supporting women in the workforce. It did far more good than the contrary.
As the plane landed, I switched off the fly mode on my phone, waiting for messages to come through.
