| 6/14/26 | ![]() “From Incident to Insight - Learning Lessons in Emergency Services” - Brett Stephens - Influence Me Podcast - Season 3 - Episode 7 | I recently joined Brett Stephens from 660 Productions for a timely discussion on lessons learnt in emergency services, and why organisational memory matters. We discussed why it is critical that emergency services organisations do more than simply review past incidents, and it's got to be more than just releasing a Safety Bulletin. The real value comes from capturing the lessons, reinforcing good practice, and making sure that knowledge is passed on to current and future leaders, crews and teams. We also explored the role of documentary-style video production as a practical and powerful way to share operational knowledge across large and geographically dispersed workforces. In an environment where face-to-face training is not always possible, modern multimedia and internet-based platforms provide outstanding opportunities to make learning more accessible, engaging and enduring. Leadership was a strong theme throughout the discussion. Good leaders do not allow hard-earned lessons to disappear with time, retirement or organisational change. They make sure those lessons are passed on, so others do not have to re-learn them the hard way. As we discussed in the episode: “In emergency services, lessons are often written in risk, sacrifice and consequence. The responsibility of leadership is to make sure they are not forgotten.” A great conversation with Brett Stephens, and an important reminder that learning from experience is not just about looking back. It is about building safer, wiser and more capable emergency services for the future. A Revelation showcase of Brett’s previous work is available at: https://vimeo.com/1199982168?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci Brett is contactable via email: brett@sceniuspictures.com.au with his website being: https://sixsixtyproductions.com/ | 44m 06s | ||||||

| 2/26/23 | ![]() ”Successfully navigating the sometimes rough waters of recruitment and selection” Matt Callow - ’Influence Me’ - Leadership Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 5 | When a potential guest says he is dangerously allergic to the archaic approach to leadership development - I want to interview him! For this episode, my guest Matt Callow is a registered Psychologist with over 10 years experience consulting to organisations and delivering success in talent management, organisational development, learning & development; and strategic human resource management solutions. Matt blends commercial realism with proven behavioural science to help organisations increase productivity, performance and profitability. Matt work’s in partnership with Executives, OD, HR, L&D and Recruitment Leaders in determining the profile of success for their people, and consequently, the productivity and profitability of their organisations. Matt is also obsessed with seeing people challenge themselves. With more than 10 years of psychology-in-the-workplace and behavioural-intervention experience, he's obsessed with innovating new ways of rebuilding leaders and cultures; creating high impact programs and alternate delivery mechanisms that exude passion and produce tools and insights that are ludicrously useful and effective. Matt is dangerously allergic to the archaic approach to leadership development – a ‘death by PowerPoint’ approach limited in efficacy due to the cognitive dissonance and paltry half-life associated with traditional learning. Described as a mix between a mad scientist and sports coach, Matt uses powerful brain tools, psychology and neuroscience to enhance success and give people the choice and opportunity to grow beyond today. | 40m 05s | ||||||

| 4/2/22 | ![]() ”From Little Things, Big Things Grow” Robert Webber - ‘Influence Me’ - Leadership Podcast - Season 2 - Episode 2 | As it is said, from little things big things grow. Robert’s initial experience with the fire services was as an untrained and ineffectual volunteer firefighter with the CFA in the early 1980’s. In 1983 he fled the Ash Wednesday fires with his wife and month old daughter, and shortly thereafter while he worked in TAFE, and before the era of Certificates, he conducted many Train-the-Trainer programs for the CFA trainers at Fiskville. Robert went on to work with the Fiskville trainers to develop training packages to improve the skills of the CFA volunteers. In the mid-90’s he escaped Ballarat’s miserable winters and moved to Maleny. Around that time a major review of Queensland’s fire services lead to a major restructure. 81 fire boards in local government were replaced by a single fire service and this is was the early genesis of the current QFES. Robert worked within the new organisation with its exceptional people for many years to develop the capability of the new teams. He went on to do similar work with QAS and other agencies within the Emergency Services. Robert has also worked on major and minor organisational development projects in other sectors and across the globe. He is currently retired but always happy to support people doing good work with good people. | 39m 20s | ||||||
