Sometimes we focus far too much on the things we haven’t achieved, when we should be talking about the areas in which we’ve found success. In this episode, Colin talks about why, especially when it comes to our safety achievements, we should be taking time out to celebrate the positive effects we have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A success we share is a success that empowers. By lionising our achievements, we energise ourselves, and others, to do better.
• If we mark out achievement, we inspire others to push further. The rewards of success are the driving force behind further success.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’d like you turn things on their head a little bit and really look at the things that are going well’

‘Good practice fosters more good practice'
