In that sense, I am not the flower flourishing but the gardener, carefully helping prepare soil, to sow new seeds of ideas and challenge, to water and fertilise the growth of others. But events can be a flash in the pan, superbly energising and flourishing in the moment, which often fades away quickly. I will be supercharging this hybrid combo approach to learning in 2020.
For how long did you and your partner date? How long before you and your partner made some significant decisions, like meeting each other's family, going on holiday together, getting a dog, sharing bank details, moving in together, or maybe (call me old fashioned), getting married?
We are all in sales now. To sell is human. Maybe you might spend some of your reflection time in the holidays thinking about how you can improve your marketing and sales capability.
Here at Safety on Tap, we spend a lot of time looking forward to new ideas, innovation, and a future-focus. But, as you know, reflecting on our experiences, and making sense of that socially with each other, is one of the most powerful sources of learning right under our noses. Today, my guest reflects on a career of insights, to fuel your growth.
I'm chatting with Russel Skilleter. Career health and safety professional, looking back on a few decades of experiences. I'll let him tell you the story.
Here is our first taste, bringing the Safety Color Concept to an entire conference room, most of whom who have never heard it before, live from the South Australian Safety Symposium. It describes the nature causes problems and effects of Safety Cutter. Dave Provan and I started Collaborating a little while ago to bring the Safety Cutter problem and solutions to life, out of academia and into practice.
My guest today is Professor Andrew Sharman, President of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. Many of you listening will be IOSH members or might have done training which was delivered or accredited by IOSH. Andrew is the CEO of international culture and leadership consultancy RMS, with qualifications in health and safety law, industrial psychology and organisational behavior. Andrew is professor of leadership and safety culture at CEDEP, the European Centre for Executive Development, and a prolific author with titles including from Accidents to Zero, The Wellbeing Book, Naked Safety, and Mind Your Own Business: What Your MBA Should Have Taught You About Workplace Health and Safety which he co-authored with former Chair of the UK Health and Safety Executive Dame Judith Hackett.
I literally just had a conversation with someone, who told me about a serious near-miss incident. An incident so close to deadly for one person it gave me shivers. Thankfully they weren't badly hurt. The trouble was, after that happened, someone else died. This is the story of the relationship between blame and learning.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents traces it's history back to a meeting in London, in 1916, the attendees of which resolved to create a Councilto tackle " the alarming increase in traffic accidents, and the direct connection therewith of the restricted street lighting which had been necessitated by the War conditions".
My guest today is Dr. Karen McDonnell, the Head of RoSPA Scotland and the organisations Occupational Health and Safety Policy Advisor.
Today I welcome back friend of the show and previous guest Michelle Oberg, to fill us in on some new ideas, her new but not so new role, and what new things we might consider if we want to innovate in safety. Michelle is the Safety Innovation Lead in the transport and infrastructure division of Downer, which employs over 50,000 people across Australia and New Zealand designing, building and sustaining a bunch of different infrastructure and facilities assets.
Close your eyes for a minute, assuming you are not jogging or walking down a busy street. If you are, maybe stop, because this is the #1 question you need to answer to drastically improve your performance.
I'm going to ask this question, and you need to immediately grab the answer which comes to your mind - don’t think about this, this is not a thinking question.

Learning focused dialogue on social media, especially when people disagree, too easily disintegrates into defensiveness, confusion, and negativity.

This episode was really far more left field as an idea which when I suggested it to my guest today, he jumped at my guest is Ron Gantt, who some of you will know as the editor of the safetydifferently.com blog. This all started with a post, which Ron put on LinkedIn.
This is what the Post said.
He said, what makes having a meaningful constructive conversation between people who disagree with one another hard on this website.
2018 was a tough year for me as I faced a lot of challenges ahead but I approached the challenged differently and I want to share it to you today, a quote from Theodore Roosevelt popped up in my social feeds which is been timing on the day when I needed it and I've adapted it, it's called "The Man in the Arena"
