Busy days
As a professional in the maritime industry, my calendar is often filled with exciting and engaging activities. From attending maritime meetups to reading books on ocean industries, I always have something to look forward to.
Delfina and the ESG Energize podcast
I had the opportunity to speak with Delfina, who has over 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and is currently working in the ESG and renewable energy sectors. Delfina's insights into her career and her take on ESG are both fascinating and thought-provoking. We even discussed her podcast on ESGs on the oil and gas network, which is a great listen for anyone interested in this field.

Maritime Meetup
As a member of the board for WISTA Norway, I am actively involved in running and participating in mentoring programs for members and non-members. Our mid-term meetup was focused on goal-setting and making plans, as well as how to revise those goals and plans if necessary. This is an essential aspect of my work as I am constantly re-evaluating my goals to ensure they are still meaningful and relevant.
Exploring the Ocean Industry
I am an avid reader, and my current book of choice is \"The Routledge Handbook of the Ocean Space,\" a fascinating read that delves into the history of exploration and how it has shaped maritime law. I find it fascinating to learn about the concept of mare libre and how it only applies to certain groups of people, highlighting the inequalities that exist in this industry. I have also recently received two other books, \"Designing Complexity for Systems Oriented Design\" and \"Designing Journeys Through Complex Systems,\" which I am eager to dive into.
Wrapping Up
As always, my day is filled with plenty of reading and conversations with industry experts. I am constantly lining up new people to speak with and opening up new opportunities to explore the impact of the ocean on the rest of the world. Despite a small lunch break, my day is packed with exciting activities, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the day holds.
In conclusion, being a maritime industry expert is not just a job but a way of life that is both challenging and rewarding. It requires constant learning and exploration of new ideas and concepts. While it may not be for everyone, for me, it is an incredible journey that I am honored to be a part of.
