“Bridging the gap between Theory and Practice“

Bagnalls ‘Make the Difference’ 2024

Creating Understanding

It’s not only a great way of listening to what other colleagues have to say, but it also creates ‘understanding’ and avoids going down the road of ‘blame culture’. Embracing the thoughts and viewpoints of everyone ensures that the learning is ‘in the moment’ and that we see real progress.

We explore with your audience how behaviour breeds behaviour, how it changes the way we work, affects our choices and, as a direct consequence impacts on decision-making. We tackle good practice and empower your people to take ownership for setting the standards and the culture; this is about what ‘they want to see’.

Ground Transport Systems: Rod has provided a series of live and interactive online training sessions to the GTS global organisation. The objective of these sessions was to promote the importance of HSE Leadership and Culture. They have been a huge success with fantastic feedback on how enjoyable, memorable, and beneficial the delegates have found the training.

I’ve had Acting Up for 25 years; which specialises in generating H&S engagement in heavy industry. I saw Rod in action, running an event for a shared client, and knew immediately that I wanted to work with him. When the right project came up I involved him from the design to delivery. He is so experienced and such a natural communicator that I felt I could completely rely on him to interpret the client’s brief and to convert that into an engaging and creative session. I’ve involved and have now partnered with him on many subsequent jobs. He has the ability to connect with all types of people in a room, and can take a dry subject matter and turn it into something engaging and relevant. He works a room in a way that few others in this field can. He uses humour and visual references to hold his audience.

For the last 15 years I have hired Rod Silvers. He’s genuine, gritty, and a game changer. If you are looking to impact human performance positively, he’s the one.
