Safety, at the human edge
Conversations, leadership, and the human side of safety.
Hi, I’m Daniel
I’m a former pilot, turned psychologist turned leadership consultant. I’ve spent the last two decades working with leaders in high-risk industries trying to understand why the conversations that mater so rarely happen, and what to do about it.
The book
An Invitation to Safety Conversations shows how dialogue creates organisations where truth can travel, partnership becomes possible, and performance improves, by closing the distance between leadership and the people doing the work.
Available worldwide:
