Being AI-astute does not mean becoming a technical expert. It does not mean knowing how to code or handing decisions over to technology. It means understanding how AI can be used thoughtfully to reduce repetitive, low-value work and create more space for the work that actually matters.

We are excited to welcome five new coaches to the CAVU International team!

Lessons from military and industrial operations on building teams that stay aligned, adaptable, and reliable under pressure

Last week at WindEurope 2026, CAVU Safety, Performance & Leadership Coach Julie House participated in the “Health and Safety Reimagined” panel discussion, an interactive session focused on how the wind industry can continue to strengthen safety performance in increasingly complex operational environments.

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.

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.

CAVU International’s Vice President of Business Development, Terry Barrett, will take the stage at the Oil & Gas Safety, Health & Environmental 2025 Conference to share a powerful case study on what happens when Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles are truly embedded in day-to-day field work.

Traditional leadership methods, like Leadership-By-Walking-Around, are not feasible with a geographically dispersed team. Instead, leaders must embrace creativity and leverage technology, such as video conferencing and webinars, to stay connected. Ensuring leaders are proficient with these tools is crucial, as they must be part of the solution, not the problem.

Join us in welcoming Aundrey and Christopher to the CAVU team!

Sign up to attend our next webinar taking place on the 22nd of July.
