Creating Influence – How Safety Professionals Can Win Leaders Over
Every WHS professional knows the frustration of having the right solution, the right data, and even the right intent — but struggling to get leaders to listen, resource, or act.
Influence in safety isn’t about louder voices or more rules; it’s about building trust, speaking the language of business, and showing leaders why safety decisions drive better outcomes across people, performance, and profit.
In this session, Alanna Ball — global leader in WHS, consultant to organisations across Australia, and founder of Women in Safety — will share practical strategies to:
- Translate safety messages into the language executives actually hear
- Use the “trust equation” to strengthen relationships and credibility
- Shift from compliance enforcer to strategic partner
- Leverage small wins to create long-term cultural change
This is a high-energy, practical session designed for WHS professionals at every stage of their career who want to move from being in the room to being heard in the room.
