COURSE SYNOPSIS
You sure know the saying: When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Have you ever ventured off the beaten path? I mean really off the beaten path.
The day will come when you will have to venture beyond hotel lobbies and posh LNG gatherings for some real exposure to the less developed parts of the world. You will sweat, enjoy smelly hotel rooms, hang for hours at some airport in sweltering heat. You will encounter foreign and fascinating cultures and meet the good and also the ugly.
And most importantly, you will have to cut out a solution that works for your company. New LNG project development demands the best of a man or woman. You will have to become the entrepreneur of the company you work for and rise to the next level of managerial accomplishment.
I will show you how to develop a strategy for dealing with your LNG problems, face reality, get your feet on the ground, deal with cultural and communicational issues and most importantly how to deal with yourself as a person as you will face failure and you will have to deal with it. I will also show you how to deal with those back home in corporate headquarters and communicate efficiently with supporters and backstabbers alike.
Welcome to the Pitbull's lair.

WHAT YOU GET
The LNG world has changed more in the last 5 years than in the 45 years before that. LNG was an exotic solution for getting stranded gas to paying markets in Europe, Asia and to a limited extent to North America in the past Now it has become THE clean energy flexibility option for the planet. New LNG players spring up every year bringing fresh blood into the petrified LNG world.
Continents such as Latin America and Africa that have never seen LNG imports suddenly appear on the map, floating solutions abound, mid-scale and small-scale LNG became important industries in their own right and LNG as a fuel for vehicles as well as bunkering start to make a serious impact.
At the same time, crazy project prices, tumbling oil prices, the impact of shale and Russian pipeline politics require creative thoughts in order to save your project or to salvage what can be.
The journey is still far, but this time of heightened uncertainty also carries the seeds of untold riches and boundless opportunities.
Still, LNG is not for the fainthearted and as Thomas Jefferson candidly observed in the adolescent years of the United States, luck smiles to those who work hard and are prepared.
The road to success is littered with broken dreams. They are the dreams of all those that thought they will succeed by doing what has been done before. Those afraid often take the past as their most important yardstick and they are wrong.
I will give you a hard dose of fundamentals and I will deliver them straight in your face. Once you understand the underlying fabric of the LNG world, I will show you where you have to bend the rules (or break them) in order to adapt to new challenges and respond to opportunities as they arise.
I will push you over the cliff and teach you how to grow wings while you fall. Because I cannot predict the winds - but I can teach you how to be better at setting sails.
