“If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.”

Business entrepreneurs don’t start a business simply to show up and maintain the status quo; rather, they drive for innovation: a different way of doing things.

Business and safety: many times the two clash; however, when the ideas of prevention are aligned with business focus, they become action.

While businesses have processes and procedures to accomplish the tasks that assure results, its leadership in allowing a positive culture to thrive that drives success. Positive cultures are safe cultures not only set by a safe work environment, they are set by people feeling it’s safe to bring up the tough things, not just what’s going right. Actions that demonstrate respect, trust, and value for each person’s contribution creates and sustains a great culture both in good times and bad.
