At PSM, we recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset. As we continue to innovate and lead in the energy sector, developing a strong pipeline of future leaders is not just a priority—it's a responsibility. This commitment led to the creation of LEAP: Leadership Evolution at PSM.
LEAP is more than a traditional leadership program; it's a long-term investment in our talent. Designed to enhance leadership skills, foster collaboration, and support personal and professional growth across the organization, LEAP represents our commitment to nurturing our workforce.
The most recent track, Rise and Realize, concluded in May 2025. Over six months, 15 employees, nominated by the Executive Leadership Team, embarked on an immersive learning journey. This experience included guided workshops, coaching sessions, and an interactive leadership panel featuring senior leaders from various departments.
What distinguished this program was its authenticity and human-centric approach. Participants learned not only from the curriculum but also from each other and PSM leaders who shared their personal growth experiences. By stepping outside their comfort zones, each participant made significant strides in becoming a more effective and self-aware leader.
The rapidly evolving energy industry, driven by new technologies, global decarbonization efforts, and workforce transitions, demands a new breed of leaders. These individuals must think strategically, adapt swiftly, and lead with empathy.
Programs like LEAP ensure we're prepared for these challenges. By developing our talent internally, we not only fill future roles but also shape the leadership culture we envision for PSM: collaborative, innovative, and built on trust.
At PSM, we believe leadership isn't confined to titles. It manifests at every level—from the shop floor to the boardroom. Whether you're mentoring a colleague, tackling a complex problem, or proposing a novel idea, you're demonstrating leadership.
LEAP is one way we acknowledge and cultivate this leadership mindset, and it's just the beginning of our commitment to employee development.
To every graduate of the Rise and Realize track: you've set a new standard for what's achievable. Your growth, curiosity, and courage embody the values we cherish at PSM. Thank you for your full engagement, challenging questions, and wholehearted embrace of leadership with passion and purpose.
We eagerly anticipate your future accomplishments.
