When it comes to safety training, your experience isn’t everyone’s.
Michael Philpott, an expert in public speaking, pitching and presenting, uses his background in outdoor adventure guiding, to highlight how great communication is at the heart of great safety: breaking down complex skills, understanding different learning levels, and teaching with empathy rather than fear.
His stories show just how critical it is to meet people at their experience level, not yours — and how this simple shift can transform learning, confidence and safety outcomes.
Michael offers a powerful reminder that great safety training means walking the track yourself, experiencing difficulties firsthand, and designing processes with real people in mind — not ideal ones.
A brilliant watch for anyone leading safety, training or organisational learning.
