Dave Greenberg CSP helps organisations close the gap between their assumed readiness and observed performance under pressure.
Twenty five years and 4,000+ real missions as a rescue crewman on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter taught him what that gap costs when it’s real.
Organisations Dave has worked with include:
Dave speaking to the United Fire Brigade Association’s Conference in Christchurch.
Dave (sitting in the door of the helicopter) operating the winch during a bush rescue.
Dave’s Keynote Topics
Leadership under pressure: How to make sound decisions when time, information and stakes are all working against you.
High-performance teams under pressure: What separates teams that hold together under pressure from teams that fall apart.
Resilience under sustained pressure: what it takes to stay resilient when a decision is judged, second-guessed, and blamed long after the moment has closed.
Health and safety in high-risk environments: Why assumed readiness fails, and what demonstrated readiness actually looks like.
