I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Karen, first woman to run state-owned Pertamina

Karen Agustiawan has become the first woman to step into the position of president director of state oil and gas company PT Pertamina.

The country now waits for her strong leadership to turn Pertamina into a world-class company.

The 50-year-old woman believes Pertamina has the potential to grow to be a world-class oil and gas company, once its employees think globally and company is free from intervention.

She said she would “reject it at any cost” if there was any intervention that would harm either Pertamina or the country.

When asked what it was like to be the first female top executive, she said, “It was just ordinary, nothing too special or overwhelming.”

In fact, being the first woman to hold a high organizational position is not something new for Karen. The public came to know her in March 2008 when she was appointed the position of Pertamina’s upstream director. Her first encounter with the oil and gas industry was 1984, right after she graduated from the Bandung Institute Technology (ITB), majoring in engineering of physics.

Karen has experience working in big oil and gas companies, including giant oil producer Mobil Oil, now ExxonMobil, and the world’s second largest oil field services provider, Halliburton Co.

She was the first Indonesian woman hired by Mobil Oil, where she worked for 14 years.

During her time at Mobil, Karen held several positions including system analysts and programmer to develop reserve calculation, seismic processor and quality controller systems for several seismic projects.

She was also project leader of the exploration computing department.

In 2002, she became the first Indonesian women hired as a commercial manager by Halliburton’s Indonesia unit.

“In international oil companies, having women as their top executives is a very common practice,” Karen said.

In leading Pertamina, Karen will share responsibility for the company with Omar Sjawaldy Anwar, the newly appointed vice president director.

Omar was appointed CEO of mining giant Rio Tinto in August last year.

“I accepted the offer [of vice president director] because it was an order from the country and I wanted to serve my country,” he said.

The government appointed Omar because his experiences in business and finances were expected to complement Karen’s expertise in technical matters.

“We expect Pertamina to lead both the international and domestic markets. We will evaluate the strength and the weaknesses of the company,” Omar said.

Before joining Rio Tinto, Omar was state-run Bank Mandiri’s director of consumer finance.
