Speaker Bio
Rebekah Smith is a leadership advisor with a background in corporate operations and years of consulting and advisory work in safety-critical environments. Her work focuses on how leaders make decisions and communicate under pressure when conditions change and consequences matter. She applies systems and physics-based thinking to develop practical frameworks that have been tested with experienced safety professionals across oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, and complex operational settings.

Session Description
This virtual session is designed for experienced safety leaders in high-consequence environments. It examines how decision drift develops when operations appear stable, and how leadership under pressure later exposes that drift through compounding, reasonable decisions. Participants learn how to recognize early signals and maintain alignment before consequences appear.
