We are joined on this weeks conversation by one of my favourite thinkers in the safety field Rosa Antonia Carrillo. ROSA ANTONIA CARRILLO, M.S.O.D., president of Carrillo and Associates, is an internationallyrecognized author and safety leadership consultant. Edgar Schein recommended her 2020 book, TheRelationship Factor in Safety Leadership, as required reading for anyone wanting to understand safety culture.She has 25 years of hands-on international experience with clients in utilities, oil & gas, mining, energy, biotech,manufacturing, financial services, education, and government sectors. She has conducted 100's of safety cultureassessments, interviews with managers and employee focus groups, which gives her an unusual depth ofunderstanding of how cultures operate. She knows how employees think about psychological safety, reportinginjuries or near misses. She knows why employees do or don't engage.For her, leaders are individuals who consciously choose to take on the responsibility for providing direction,gathering resources and ensuring that everyone under them feels they can contribute their best self to the goalsof the community. Her core conviction is that effective leadership is focused on creating a culture where thosebeing led can flourish.She is known for her authenticity, which enables her to teach and speak in a way that relates to real lifeexperience. Through face-to-face presentations and conversation, Rosa inspires physical, relational and spiritualdevelopment. She has learned that the leadership journey entails continuous personal growth and alwaysrequires more work than we realize.Her expertise is frequently sought on the topic of how to create and maintain trust. By speaking with 100's ofemployees and managers, Ms. Carrillo has gathered the leadership actions that create trust and the ones thatdestroy it. People must feel included to trust management. They will not speak up to prevent failures anddisasters unless they feel valued and respected.As a former adjunct faculty in the Pepperdine University Presidential Key Executive program, Ms. Carrilloworked in depth to develop leadership capability in high-level managers.

On the last regular episdode for Season 3 we are blessed with James Wood and Michael Weston joining the conversation. Both popular and professional safety real life experience speakers both have a message you will want to hear (and your people to hear). Not one to be missed and a good way to end the season and the year. Michael will live the rest of his life with an acquired brain injury (ABI) as a result of pushing his body to the point that it couldn't go on.A career of 20 years in heavy industry saw Michael rewarded with a leadership role, he not only had to ensure production, but he was responsible for other people. A normal 10 to 12 hour workday often dragged out to 14 and 16 hours, days off were spent answering phone calls from the site or ‘Catching up' on work that just “Had” to be done.Work/Life balance became Work/Work balance with a bit of life thrown in when it didn't interfere with the job.Something had to give, and it was Michael's body. He walked out his front door not feeling quite right but knowing he had to get to work and he collapsed on his driveway and was found by his neighbor unconscious and not breathing. His head had fallen onto his chest and blocked the supply of oxygen to his brain.Michael is now affected by; short term memory loss, impaired cognitive function, limited attention span, hypersensitivity to noise and bright light among other health and well-being impacts. Michael was diagnosed with an ABI, Anxiety, Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).James Wood offers workplaces something different. He shares the story of his workplace accident! James made some wrong Choices and ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!James' Safety Presentation has a long lasting and significant impact on the Choices you make.James will share his message of ‘choice', which he hopes will help other people to avoid the same mistakes he has made. James Wood made the wrong safety decision once and now he has to live with it for the rest of his life. As James puts it, ‘It was supposed to be a normal day, I got up, I went to work and went home 9 months later'.Links from todays show.
