It’s time once again for our Annual Year In Review interviews! Last January 2020, Sally Hallingstad, Oilfield Helping Hands talks about why she is attracted to the way industry is a leader in community building.
“Full disclosure, when I answered the ad I didn’t think of it as part of the energy industry. Right, so once I got into it, it was fascinating to me. One I knew nothing and I still, you know, seven years later I feel like I don’t know much. But I think the beauty of it is not only are people willing to help each other when they’re down, but when people come into the industry, I no shame in asking questions. I never felt like I was asking a dumb question even if it was a dumb question nobody made me feel like it was. And I think that is a true testament to an industry that really wants to help people become a part of it and grow within it…”
The Ag/Energy relationship and perception is also discussed. Hallingstad grew up in an agricultural and oil-less part of the country. She explains how her energy perception evolved through life and career experiences.
Spread the word. Support the industry. Share the energy.
