Rising into the Role: Building Safety Leadership Through Adversity

Anna Garrett

Following the unexpected loss of a department leader, I stepped into greater responsibility within the safety organization during a time of uncertainty. This session shares how I helped maintain stability, honored existing foundations, and progressively grew into executive leadership over four years. 

Attendees will learn practical strategies for leading through adversity, building credibility over time, and strengthening a safety department while evolving it to meet higher performance expectations.
