CAVU International has been named the 2025 honoree of Pocketalk’s new “Leadership in Language Award,” recognizing our exclusive partnership to embed real-time translation into leadership and safety training worldwide.

Pocketalk announced this year’s winners as part of its third annual Pocketalk Impact Awards on December 15, 2025, celebrating organizations using translation technology to strengthen communication and inclusion across industries.

Why this award matters in high-risk work

In high-hazard environments—rig floors, plants, shipyards, and remote worksites—communication isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a leading indicator of reliable execution. When people can’t quickly confirm intent, clarify hazards, or speak up with confidence, risk increases and teamwork suffers.

That’s exactly why CAVU pursued an exclusive partnership with Pocketalk in the first place: to ensure that language differences don’t prevent teams from building the habits that keep people safe and operations steady.

What Pocketalk recognized

Pocketalk’s award citation highlights CAVU’s work integrating real-time translation directly into our training and coaching—so multilingual teams can train more effectively, reduce risk, and strengthen inclusion across global operations.

Pocketalk also notes that its translation solutions enable real-time translations in 92+ languages, helping organizations remove barriers to understanding in fast-moving, real-world settings.

A partnership built around one belief: communication drives performance

When Pocketalk announced the partnership with CAVU in 2023, the mission was clear: remove barriers that hinder effective communication, safety, and productivity—not just in theory, but in the field.

As Dell Bull, CAVU’s Executive Vice President of Business Development, shared at the time: “Effective communication is at the heart of our programs.”

Pocketalk’s Joe Miller put it simply in the 2025 Impact Awards announcement: when technology helps people understand each other, “entire systems become stronger and more efficient.”

What integration looks like in practice

This isn’t translation as a side tool—it’s translation as a capability, embedded into how leaders learn and how teams practice:

• Leadership behaviors in real time: Leaders can ask better questions, confirm understanding, and close communication loops—without relying on ad-hoc workarounds.
• Safer execution through clarity: Clear understanding of hazards, controls, and expectations supports safer decisions and fewer preventable errors.
• Inclusion that actually shows up on the job: When everyone can participate in learning and conversations, teams become more connected—and that connection shows up when conditions change.

What’s next

We see this award as recognition of something bigger than a single technology: it’s a signal that the industry is raising the bar on what “good” looks like in communication, leadership, and safety culture.

CAVU will continue expanding how we integrate translation into:

• Leadership and safety training delivery
• In-field coaching conversations
• Multilingual team learning and debriefing

Because the goal is the same everywhere we work: clear communication, reliable execution, and every team member able to contribute fully—regardless of their first language.
