COACHING.

WORKSHOPS & ON-SITE COACHING.

Workshops and coaching that sit with crews and supervisors long after the keynote. The WSM presentation is the anchor, then the room moves into honest conversation about decision making, peer pressure, momentum, and what stops people speaking up. The kind of work that turns a single moment into the way work actually gets done.

COACHING

[ WHY THIS WORKS ]

Why workshops here are different.

Most safety workshops are slide decks, multi-choice quizzes, or compliance refreshers. People know how to pass them and forget them. Dallas runs the room as a conversation, not a course. He uses scenarios and role play to bring the hierarchy of controls to life, asks crews to name what's already happening on their site, and lets supervisors feel both pressures, from above and below, in the same conversation. Sessions move with the energy of the group: discussion, stillness, reflection, all valid. Crews leave with shared language, not a certificate.

[ WHY DALLAS RESONATES ]

WHAT MAKES THE
ROOM LISTEN.

Four reasons crews, supervisors, engineers, and CEOs all hear the same message in the same room.

  • 01

    Lived experience, not theory

    Dallas lost both his father and his older brother to workplace incidents. He has 25+ years across underground mining, tunnelling, electrical trades, and safety. The story is the room.

  • 02

    Spoken to the people, not at them

    Sessions are run as human conversations, not lectures. Crews recognise themselves in the language and the silences. Pressure, momentum, fatigue, peer pressure are named without judgment.

  • 03

    Bridges leadership and the frontline

    Safety culture lives in the gap between leadership intent and frontline reality. The same session is delivered to crews, supervisors, engineers, and CEOs, and lands with each of them differently.

  • 04

    Built to last past the room

    Workers reference the stories weeks afterwards. Engineering teams have seen Dallas present four or more times across different projects, and the message keeps being shared and lived.

WHERE THIS HAS
ALREADY LANDED.

Selected projects and engagements. More documented in latest news and across the team's LinkedIn.

Ontario Transit Group (OTG)

Toronto, Canada

Ontario Line, Southern Civil, Stations & Tunnel. Joint venture between Ferrovial Construction and VINCI Construction Grands Projets, delivered for Metrolinx.

[ THE BRIEF ]

Two-week start-up programme across the King-Bathurst, Osgoode, and Queens/Spadina sites. Multiple WSM sessions delivered to North and South site crews, with hierarchy of controls scenarios and role play to bring risk thinking to life under a busy city.

[ THE OUTCOME ]

Different group dynamics across sessions, from highly interactive crews openly challenging the discussion, to quieter rooms choosing to listen and reflect. Engineering teams reported reflection, a re-recognition that complacency creeps in quietly, and an appreciation for the chance to pause and reset. One engineer had seen Dallas present four times previously on NorthConnex in Sydney, evidence the message keeps being shared and lived across the industry worldwide.

“These aren't tick-and-flick safety conversations. They're human conversations about awareness, responsibility, and looking after each other.”
Dallas Adams, on the OTG Osgoode sessions

Whittens Group

Snowy Hydro region, NSW

Snowy 2.0 hydro project. FRP scope (formwork, reinforcement, concrete placement) on one of Australia's most iconic infrastructure builds.

[ THE BRIEF ]

Six days on site with the Whittens crews ahead of the Christmas break. WSM sessions delivered amongst multi-generational crews including father-and-son combinations, brothers, and mates who've worked together for decades.

[ THE OUTCOME ]

An honest reset. Crews used the sessions to reconnect with their why and the people they're doing the work for. The engagement reflected what was already strong in the culture: pride, humility, and a family business attitude. The kind of moment that creates trust and leaves a project safer than it was the week before.

“The honesty from the crews and the range of ages... the engagement, the stillness in the room at times, it showed me how ready people are to reset and reconnect with their purpose.”
Dallas Adams, on the Whittens Snowy 2.0 engagement

Burrard-Chilco Partnership

Centre shaft site, Vancouver

Stanley Park Water Supply Tunnel Project, Metro Vancouver

[ THE BRIEF ]

Safety talk delivered at a major civil tunnelling project, with the brief to take the conversation beyond compliance and into culture. The session was opened up to the whole crew, not just leadership.

[ THE OUTCOME ]

BCP teams came away with a stronger frame for shared responsibility. The session was credited with shifting the conversation from rules to culture across the project.

“Dallas reminded us that safety is not just a rule, it's a responsibility we all share. His insights challenged us to think beyond compliance and embrace a culture where every decision prioritizes the well-being of our teams.”
Burrard-Chilco Partnership
