Host Jay Mullin speaks with Katelyn Poyntz, Director of Project Engineering & Energy at Unity Health Toronto, about how she built momentum for energy management at Unity Health Toronto—one step at a time. Starting with a simple lighting upgrade, she uncovered opportunities to integrate sustainability into healthcare operations, even when the path forward was uncertain. By focusing on what she could do next rather than waiting for the perfect roadmap, Katelyn successfully embedded energy management into long-term planning, secured executive buy-in and helped establish ambitious sustainability goals. Her journey is a powerful lesson in adaptability, persistence and the power of small steps leading to big change.
