CONAGRA FOODS

“After day 2, our team met back at the hotel and brainstormed for 90 minutes and came away with 12 concrete actions we can implement short term to improve our safety performance. Rarely do you walk away from a conference with such a wealth of actionable items.”

John McGillivray, Manager, Safety & Environmental, Scot Forge Company

“5 star event! I have a short attention span but this event kept me engaged throughout.”

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“Safety as a Value: As well as deep understanding on Safety culture the presenters brought additional lessons I can take into my business leadership responsibilities”

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“A Change Management go to: my favorite lesson was ‘resistance is sometimes, even often a result of a lack of understanding rather than an unwillingness to move.’ This insight will positively impact several of my key stakeholder relationships when I get back to site!”

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“5/5! The bootcamp exceeded my expectations in both content and connection with other companies and we found it to be extremely valuable and thought-provoking."

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“A key takeaway is the importance of fostering a culture of trust and psychological safety to support continuous improvement in our safety practices. Creating an environment where individuals feel safe to speak up is foundational to achieving lasting safety improvements.”

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“Very powerful and insightful event! My key take away for us is that we need to better develop our Clear Leadership Vision for Ownership.  Our organization has the heart to do something but the vision is too high level and has not been filtered down and communicated in a relatable and actionable way for the employees at all levels. I have learned that this potentially ‘steals’ the ownership away from the employees. I look forward to strengthening this when I gat back with our leadership team."

Safety Bootcamp Participant

“Not your typical boot camp! The mix of education, practical activities, team discussions, coaching and challenging us to self-assess as we learned about the 9 principles was extremely effective. We came together as a team and really listened to each other’s challenges. The next steps together are clear and we are all aligned and bought in. This outcome was beyond what I had hoped for so is a significant value-add for the event.”
