Hayden Thomas will be speaking at the March AIChE Dinner Meeting on March 11th at the Cleveland Heights Golf and Country Club. We are excited to sponsor this event, where he will discuss Condensation Induced Water Hammer (CIWH). This phenomenon occurs when hot steam directly contacts a cold liquid, typically water. CIWH has been a significant challenge in industrial processes due to its unpredictable nature, which can result in dangerous operating conditions and equipment damage. During his presentation, Hayden will provide a brief overview of CIWH, explain the proposed mechanism behind it, and discuss common issues along with potential solutions to mitigate these problems. We are grateful to Hayden for presenting at this meeting and hope you find valuable insights from the discussion. Register for this event using the link below: https://lnkd.in/evxT4_9e

?? Excited to share the latest in our Leadership Series, focusing on the vital theme of Commitment! ?? In leadership, commitment isn’t just a word; it’s the foundation of trust and inspiration. True leaders demonstrate unwavering dedication to their vision, their teams, and their values. Here are a few key insights we explored: Leading by Example: Show your team what commitment looks like. Your actions set the tone for the culture. Building Trust: Commitment fosters trust. We don't want to manage people, we want to INSPIRE people. When your team sees your dedication, they feel secure and motivated to go the extra mile. Staying Resilient: Challenges are inevitable. A committed leader navigates obstacles with resilience, inspiring others to persevere. Encouraging Accountability: Foster a culture where everyone feels accountable to their commitments, creating a sense of ownership and purpose. Join us as we dive deeper into these insights and explore how commitment can transform leadership and drive success! ??? #Leadership #Commitment #Teamwork #Inspiration #GrowthMindset
