Send us Fan MailIn this episode Kenny is joined by a returning guest as we dive into part 2 of Steve Rae's career journey. If you missed part 1 Steve spoke about his experience before, during and after the 1988 Piper Alpha Disaster but this time we are focussing on Fortitude: Action beyond Compliance and his journey from the tools to VP and eventually CEO/Executive Director of Step Change in Safety. Steve shares how he drove safety culture in diverse global operations, tackling challenges in Brazil and the "Wild West" environment of West Texas. The discussion also covers his intense role as a global HRC Director, his vision for internationalising Step Change in Safety, concerns about industry competence, and his tough but rewarding work as Chairman of the Pound for Piper charity, including the fallout from a memorial garden refurbishment plan. Finally, Steve offers leadership insights and career advice for the younger generation
