Experience & Volunteer Leadership Part 1 — Maribeth Anderson || Client Side Chats

In part two of our session with Maribeth Anderson, MPA, CSP, Maribeth and James discuss leadership with and for safety, and her experiences as developing into a safety leader. Maribeth discusses how she learned from reflecting on situations to improve herself as a leader and shares takeaways of leadership which we can all use. Maribeth is a Global Safety Director and the first ASSP Council on Regional Affairs Vice President, and she has a great wealth of experience in safety leadership during crises.

This week, Brad Giles, Past-President of ASSP, joins James discussing how to prevent the drain on talent for the safety profession. Brad presents a multiple approach to solving this problem including colleges and universities as well as workforce development. At the core of the issue is the need for safety professionals and what is driving it, which is no longer “because they are required.” Leadership is what is needed in safety professionals, which includes communication skills as well as being visionary. Enjoy this episode as it will help safety professionals know need and direction for their future.

This week we present Part 2 of a two part series with Shaun MacDonald. James and Shaun discuss different solutions to ORC, Organized Retail Crime, and keeping customers and employees safe. While some aspects of loss prevention appear frustrating, Shaun reminds us why retailers do what they do in preventing injuries should an ORC occur in their stores. In this short clip, the focus always remains about the safety of people.
