Our guests are visionary founders and seasoned leaders who have already made an impact within their organizations, industries and orbits of influence - and who are bringing even bigger visions into reality. Through candid, deep-dive conversations, we explore the courage, clarity and confidence required to create what does not yet exist, along with the decisions, strategies, resources and transformations involved in moving a vision from idea to reality. Leading Visionaries is produced by the Creative Age Consulting Group, where we work with visionary founders and seasoned leaders to monetize their vision, expertize their leadership, or further capitalize on what they’ve already built.

They require a clear, revenue-amplifying business strategy capab…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-29T16:22:49.429405+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551"},"episode":{"title":"Human-Centered Approach to Workplace Safety with Desai Link - 121","slug":"human-centered-approach-to-workplace-safety-with-desai-link-121","published_at":"2026-02-17T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551/human-centered-approach-to-workplace-safety-with-desai-link-121","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/leading-visionaries-podcast-6419551","url":"https://leading-visionaries-pod.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://growx.podkite.com/https/PKjvk092tx/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/ba6c92b8-5835-479d-9529-f5c5f7efa699.mp3","summary":"What if the biggest opportunity for learning in your organization is hiding inside your worst day? In this episode of the Leading Visionaries, host Anjel B. Hartwell sits down with Desai Link, safety leader, former lawyer, and author of Beyond the Incident. As the General Manager of Health and Safety for a commercial construction company in New Zealand and co-host of the Circus of Safety Podcast, Desai is reshaping how organizations approach workplace investigations. Whether you lead a team or manage operations, this episode will challenge you to rethink how your organization learns from failure. What You Will Learn: Why settling on “human error” is one of the most unsatisfying and incomplete conclusions in an investigation. How legal principles of evidence can dramatically improve workplace incident investigations. What it means to truly understand and test evidence rather than just collect documents. Why every incident is a learning opportunity rather than simply a compliance exercise. How interrogation, in its healthiest form, simply means asking better questions. The difference between finding fault and uncovering causation. How empathy and rigor can coexist in leadership. Why understanding storytelling and narrative is essential to meaningful investigations. How Desai’s transition from law to safety illustrates the power of cross-pollinating skills across industries. What leaders must recognize about the moral imperative to make work safer for people. Sparkling Insight Quote: “Don’t be satisfied with finding fault with someone’s behavior. There’s always more to learn.” “Work is hard. Life is hard. I’m not there to make life harder for those people because it’s already a struggle. I’m there to help us along the way.” Resource: Desai Link Dynamic HSE Book: Beyond th…","meta_description":"What if the biggest opportunity for learning in your organization is hiding inside your worst day?
