What inspires you to teach safety education to the transportation industry?  

“I am inspired to facilitate courses not only for knowledge sharing but for engagement and personal development for myself.  By being a key contributor to the body of knowledge and practices for safety leadership, we can build fully engaged safety cultures that help organizations and their stakeholders reduce or eliminate the risks to persons, infrastructure and private citizens who share our collective operating spaces with us.”
