In Conversation with The Safety Collaborators
Update: August 2025 by Karin
In Conversation with The Safety Collaborators is hosted by Karin Ovari, Leadership Coach, Facilitator, and Founder of Karin Ovari Limited.
Through candid conversations with leaders, practitioners, and thinkers, we explore leadership, communication, and safety culture in high-hazard industries. These discussions share practical insights, lessons learned, and strategies that help build trust, improve communication, and create safer, more effective teams.
Originally produced under Safety Collaborations Limited, the podcast now continues as part of Karin Ovari Limited. While we are not currently releasing new episodes, the entire library remains active — and the topics covered are just as relevant today as when they were recorded.
Whether you are tuning in for the first time or returning for another listen, you will find ideas you can apply immediately in your own leadership and safety culture journey. Learn more at https://karinovari.com.
