Slay Risk Newsletter
A weekly newsletter for schools and providers of outdoor, off-campus, and youth-serving programs. The newsletter covers how the risk landscape around programs is changing, why these experiences increasingly matter for people and society more than ever, and actionable things program leaders and risk managers can do to navigate the changing landscape.
The newsletter is free and comes out every Sunday.
Stuart Slay is the Director of Slay Risk, a safety leadership consultant and coach practice that helps everyone in organizations see risk clearly and get engaged in managing it.
Stuart writes from his experience directing risk management for a U.S. national non-profit with programs in all 50 states and as a past chair of the Wilderness Risk Management Conference. As an active academic reader and researcher, ideas in the newsletter are translated to practitioners from safety science and academia. Colleague and client stories and insights appear throughout the newsletter, too, via Slay Risk’s program review, consulting, and coaching work, and from the contributions from regular readers.
Here’s what readers are saying:
“What I see you doing is metacognition, getting people to think about their thinking.”
“Always impressed with the quality of your reflections and insights.”
“Thanks for these newsletters! They’re thought-provoking and sparks for change.”
“I LOVED THIS newsletter. And it helped reframe my one thing.”
