    Welcome to the Safeti Podcast  
    'The Art of Decision Making' - Workplace Stress with Billy Sim
    If you are involved in Health and Safety, Environment or anything in between, make sure to join us for some laid back learning!
    In Episode 13, we talk to Billy Sim, a veteran firefighter & safety trainer of over 30 years.
    Billy has taken his experiences and simplified them into a learning approach for people & businesses that focuses on decision-making, situational awareness and communication skills.
    Billy firmly believes that workplace stress is strongly connected to poor decision making, which can result in serious health and safety outcomes.
    He is on a mission to demonstrate how teaching 'soft skills' can both improve the mental health of employees and subsequently have a positive impact on safety.

    Welcome to the Safeti Podcast  
    ‘Coaching for Safety’ with Michael Emery 

    In this Episode, we talk to Michael Emery, creator of the IOSH Approved ‘Coaching for Safety’ course.

    Michael is a bit of a pioneer, he identified the gap that existed in the HSE profession and grasped the opportunity to offer something valuable to his peers.

    Whilst many of us see ourselves as coaches to some extent, the reality is that very few of us have the actual knowledge and skills to allow us to truly become a coach.

    Michael: 'Michael you know all of those courses you've attended over a 30-year career you can have your time again. But you're only allowed to attend one of them, which would it be? It would definitely be that course. I think it's that important.' [Music]
    Welcome to the Safeti podcast with your host all the way from a small green island in the wild Atlantic Ocean, Richard Collins.
    Richard: Hi folks welcome back to the safety podcast, this is episode 11. I'm your host Richard Collins. I'd like to just welcome you again back to the show and thank you for listening in.
    The voice you heard there at the start of the podcast was that of Michael Emery who our guest on the show is today.
    First to market
    Michael is a bit of a pioneer. He set up the first UK-based IOSH approved coaching for safety course and has been running it for the last five years or so.
    Whilst many of us would like to see ourselves as coaches certainly within the HSE profession, it would appear that very few of us actually have any formal training or understanding of what it really means to be a coach.
    This is something that I am very much personally interested in from a broader management and development perspective.
    So I was delighted with Michael said he would come on the show and have a chat with us about what it is he actually does in coaching for safety.
