About this listen
In this episode of Make Water Work, hosts Megan Glover and Isaac Pellerin sit down with Annyse Balkwill, founder of LuminUS Group and host of Meaningful Conversations with Annyse. Together, they explore what it means to “de-robotize” water organizations and create the conditions for real transformation.
Annyse shares her journey from chemical engineer at GE Water to global facilitator helping water leaders unlock creativity, trust, and collaboration. She explains why psychological safety matters, how silos form and dissolve, and why sitting in a circle might be more powerful than another leadership training.
This conversation covers:
• How water found Annyse and why she stayed for 20+ years
• Why most organizations are optimized, not transformed
• What “de-robotizing” work actually looks like in practice
• The role of psychological safety, creativity, and trust in innovation
• Why meaningful conversations are essential for the future of water
• How elevating women’s voices strengthens the entire industry
• If you care about leadership, culture, and making water work better for people and communities, this episode is for you.
