2021 Speakers

Corrie Pitzer

Corrie Pitzer is a specialist in culture and leadership, focusing on safety…or more specifically on risk. He is a leading consultant in this field globally. He established an approach called ‘risk competency’, that essentially holds that humans are the most capable, most dynamic risk control we have, and as such should be seen as the strongest link in safety, not the weakest. The company that he founded, Safemap International, is today regarded as a leading consultancy in this field, with several international corporations utilizing its expertise.

Anil Mathur

Anil Mathur served on ASSP’s Board of Directors as Public Director. Mathur recently retired as the CEO of Alaska Tanker Co. LLC. Mathur has been recognized as one of the 2005 National Safety Council's CEOs Who Get It. Other achievements include safely transporting more than 1,916 million barrels of oil without any spills to the sea, logging 23 million work-hours with only one lost-time injury (a fractured finger), and leading a safety performance culture that led to a reduction in insurance premiums and claims costs, greater than the cost of the annual voyage repairs for the fleet.

Professional Development Workshop
​Deep Safe Leadership - October 19, 2021

Deep Safe Leadership is focused on leadership in the high-risk environment and leading people in the high-risk zone is different, it must be different. You are leading them in danger, into danger, and you can not promise them "that they will be safe". This interactive half-day PDC will be unlike any we have ever held.

You cannot promise a platoon of paratroopers that they will be “safe” when they are about to jump out of an airplane, into an attack. You cannot promise underground miners that they will be safe when they form a rescue team to save injured miners trapped underground. Leading a team of oilrig worker, construction workers, fire fighters and paramedic – any workplace where danger lurks, the leadership is different.
This is ‘deep safe’ leadership, and it has six tests: your ability to show passion, to inspire from the front, dare to differ, to empower others, touch hearts and to show competence. Fail one and you fail them all…
 
This workshop will be an in-depth look at the concept of Deep Safe Leadership, what are the actions, behaviors and practices that typify this approach.
