When you talk to Lisa Marshall, it quickly becomes clear that her impact on the nuclear industry isn’t just about her title as President of the American Nuclear Society. It’s about the intentional, tireless, and deeply human way she shapes the future of nuclear education and workforce development.

Key Takeaways from Lisa’s Interview

• Performance opens doors. Lisa didn’t have a technical background when she started, but her curiosity and commitment led to opportunities in teaching, advising, and national leadership.
• Education is more than curriculum. From hands-on projects to mentorship, students need environments that nurture confidence, communication, and resilience.
• Professional skills matter. Calling them “soft” undercuts their importance. The ability to collaborate, communicate, and adapt is what makes the difference in long-term success.
• Start early, stay engaged. Building a nuclear workforce isn’t just about college—it’s about early exposure, practical experiences, and continuous mentorship.
• Go slow to go far. Lisa’s approach to leadership is about long-term investment, not one-off events. She believes relationship-building and thoughtful engagement are the true foundations of growth.

Energy is more than just power—it is possibility. The unseen force fuels progress, unlocks opportunities, and transforms lives. Myrto Tripathi, General Director of the TerraWater Institute and President (volunteer) of the NGOs Voices of Nuclear and EcoHumans-WePlanet France captured this sentiment perfectly when she stated,"Energy is the great enabler. It’s not only something that empowers people, but it empowers people to make their own choices for themselves—to invest better, to feed the world, to cure the world, and to provide opportunities for mobility and habitation." 
Her words reflect a deeper truth: energy is not just a commodity; it is the foundation of modern life. From lighting homes and running businesses to advancing healthcare and transportation systems, energy enables individuals and societies to reach their full potential. This episode explores how energy serves as the cornerstone for human development, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.
