Why Burnout Mitigation, Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention are Priorities in Safety-Critical Industries

With humor and storytelling,Dr.Sally makes the case why mental health matters in safety-critical industries, why attention needs to be paid to risk factors and environmental drivers, and what workers can do to help themselves and help others.

You are not alone! About 1 in four people are living with a mental health condition that is impacting their quality of life.
In this interactive workshop, we explore the ways that different forms of anxiety and depression show up in people’s lives and 10 easy-to-learn coping tools to help regulate thoughts and emotions.

The construction industry presents unique challenges that test a leader's composure and confidence. How do leaders maintain equilibrium in a high-stakes, fast-paced job site environment?

Are the workers feeling confident, safe, and valued? Or are they feeling overworked, stressed, and uncertain?

Strategic planning plays a critical role in achieving organizational goals. However, many struggle to turn these plans into tangible outcomes. These plans are either far too stuffy and reserved for executive board rooms, or they lack the simplicity and clarity to be effectively implemented.  We believe that any good strategic plan should fit on a single page and be easily translated by those who weren’t in the room when it was drafted.

Leadership is not a title, but a way of being!

Creating a culture of sustained progress and joy in the workplace.

Can you imagine working so hard that it lands you in the hospital? That is exactly what happened to Joseph Barkley, our facilitator for this session. Since then, he's learned how to allocate his energy and talents in ways that give him boundless energy, focus, and huge dividends. This is not only what we want as leaders, it's the culture we want to create in our teams. This shift will make work-life-giving and the workplace magnetic to the best candidates.

Even leaders and teams that think they give and receive feedback regularly fail to do it effectively.

But the reality is that we usually overestimate how often we give or receive feedback, which slows down results. This engaging keynote provides both practical tools and psychological frameworks to help you build and strengthen your feedback muscles. 

Leaders define culture for better and worse. Is our culture empowering for those in it? How would our teams describe their prevailing experience?

A leader’s job is to make tomorrow better than today. Leaders drive improvement, making positive change a central part of their role. Leaders must constantly challenge the status quo to drive growth and innovation.

But as leaders move people from point “A” to point “B,” people will resist the change – even if the changes are improvements – because change is uncomfortable.

“Safety is our most important job.” All companies say that. Many even have excellent practices for preventing injuries. But there’s a difference between being a safe company and creating an environment where people can speak without fear, be themselves, and perform their best. Those things require psychological safety. During this workshop, you’ll learn about Project Aristotle, a 5-year research study Google did to identify why some of their teams were stellar, and other teams stumbled.
