The Safety Shift: Leading Without Ego

Kevin Rempel, Paralympian and

Safety Culture Leader

Leaders in safety make decisions every day that influence trust, accountability, and ultimately lives. The question is not whether safety matters. It is what internal voice is shaping the decisions that carry it forward. In The Safety Shift, Kevin equips safety leaders with a practical framework to better understand the inner voice that drives our decisions. Using the “Check Your EGO” framework (Check your Excuses, Gut, and Options), leaders learn to recognize when fear disguises itself as logic, when past experience overrides present reality, and how to pause long enough to choose a response that strengthens culture instead of weakening it.

This session is not about convincing leaders to care about safety. It is about providing common language as a tool they can use to coach other leaders, influence decision making across teams and create a ripple effect that reaches the front line.
