Episode 160 - Ergonomics Meets Human Factors: Building Safer, Smarter Workplaces with Dr. Era Poddar
Q: Tell me a little about how you got started in ergonomics and what drew you to safety.
Era describes discovering ergonomics during her master's in human physiology with a specialization in ergonomics, followed by design projects, teaching, international exposure (Middle East, Nepal), and eventually establishing a practice that blends education with practical industry applications.
Episode 159 - The Power of Coaching: Building Safety Habits That Create Lasting Impact with Dr. Nicholas Weatherly
Q: How do you develop leaders into effective coaches within an organization?
We start by identifying practical, high-impact behaviors, implement quick wins to build momentum, and then scale with ongoing, structured interactions that focus on successful conversations, not tick-list checkboxes.
Episode 159 - The Power of Coaching: Building Safety Habits That Create Lasting Impact with Dr. Nicholas Weatherly
Q: What is coaching, and how does your approach differ from traditional coaching or performance management?
Our coaching is behavior-based and designed to build habits, not punish failure. It emphasizes personalized, on-the-ground support, frequent brief check-ins, and helping leaders and workers identify and remove barriers so safer choices become the default.
Episode 135 - A Survivor's Journey: Safety Lessons from the Miracle on the Hudson with Dave Sanderson
Q: What was the key leadership lesson you took away from the Miracle on the Hudson?
Lead with certainty, provide clear direction, and maintain a game plan even when circumstances are chaotic; the leader who communicates succinctly and ensures others feel confident is the one who guides people to safety.

Q: Tell me about your background and what led you to be on that flight.
I had a long background in sales and security, and I ended up on Flight 1549 somewhat by chance after adjusting plans; the real takeaway was how preparation and leadership under pressure shaped the outcome.
