The SAFE Leader training blends DEI with safety engineering to transform leadership through four in-depth, practical sessions.
About this Event

Join us for the SAFE Leader training in Birmingham. The SAFE Leader framework, based on Mark McBride-Wright’s book, comprises a series of sessions and materials that guide participants from understanding the basics of diversity, equity, and inclusion to applying safety engineering principles to psychological safety and leadership

The training is structured into four comprehensive three-hour sessions, each designed to address a specific aspect of leadership transformation. Participants will engage deeply with both the theory and practical application of psychological safety principles, enabling a real shift in both personal and professional attitudes and behaviours.
