At CAVU, we believe the difference between organizations that continually react to problems and those that consistently stay ahead of them comes down to one fundamental shift: moving from reactive to proactive performance.

Artificial Intelligence is moving quickly, and executives are under growing pressure to understand what it means for their organizations.

High-performing teams don’t happen by accident—and they don’t stay strong without intentional leadership.

Julie will be speaking on Thursday, 23 April 2026, from 13:30–14:15 at the Powering the Future stage in Hall 9, joining industry leaders for an important discussion on what effective safety leadership looks like in today’s wind sector.

CAVU recently completed a 3‑day leadership workshop with a global wind service provider at a wind site in north‑central Oregon along the Columbia River Gorge. The session brought together senior lead technicians and site leads from nearby windfarms and marked another step forward in a strong, ongoing partnership focused on developing frontline leaders in the wind industry.

Human Performance is bigger than training. It’s about how leaders lead, how systems support work, and how organizations learn in real operations.

CAVU recently supported a five-day workshop focused on Safety, Wells Operations Crew Resource Management (WOCRM), Simulations, and Roundtables—bringing together an international group of participants from Mexico, Turkey, Iraq, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan.

CAVU delivers tailored, in-person seminars, workshops, and roundtables built for the realities of high-consequence work. This isn’t motivational speaking or generic leadership theory. It’s hands-on, practical training led by coaches with experience in demanding environments—so your leaders leave with tools they’ll actually use.

CAVU was proud to be represented at the 2026 IADC Drilling Caspian & Black Sea Conference, held 4–5 February in Baku, where industry leaders gathered to discuss the future of drilling safety, technology, and operational performance across the region.

CAVU, The RelyOn Leadership Academy, has signed a multi-year contract with Shell to provide leadership and coaching support within its Assist & Assure (A&A) program.

In this webinar, CAVU CEO Dave Burnham—retired Navy Commander and longtime leader in high-risk operations—will break down what actually separates teams that contain problems from teams that watch them escalate.

We’re proud to welcome Chris, Aaron, Ryan, Delbert, Robert, and Brian to CAVU. This is a great new group, and we’re excited for the impact they’ll have—inside our team and alongside our clients.

What started as CAVU International — a small team of coaches with a shared mission — has grown into CAVU, The RelyOn Leadership Academy, a global organization serving clients in oil and gas, manufacturing, law enforcement, renewable energy, and a wide range of other high-risk industries committed to safety, leadership, and performance excellence. Happy 10th Anniversary to CAVU!
