Building Influence And Impact In Safety, With Steven Harris

What does it really take to be an influential safety leader? Steven Harris doesn't just talk safety, he lives and breathes leadership. In this jam-packed conversation, we dig deep into the evolution of the safety profession, the mindset shifts needed to thrive, and how to build lasting credibility in a world full of noise.

If you've ever wondered how to move from compliance cop to strategic catalyst, this one's for you. And if you've been wrestling with how to say "no" without guilt, influence without arrogance, or lead without burning out, prepare to take notes.
