In high-hazard industries, EHS leaders and safety professionals often know exactly what needs to change. The analysis is thorough. The case is well-prepared. Yet decision-makers defer, delay or move on without a decision.
It is not your idea that is the problem. Safety is still being communicated in technical language, framed around compliance, disconnected from what operational and commercial leaders actually care about.
"Here is the risk matrix."
Leaders hear:
Just saying no.
"It is not compliant."
Leaders hear:
This will slow us down.
"The rules say..."
Leaders hear:
Not my problem right now.
Their world has changed. Economic pressure, ESG demands, labour gaps, operational complexity. The approach must change with it. The F.L.O.W.™ model gives you the language and structure to make your initiative land with the people who hold the budget and authority to act.
The F.L.O.W.™ shift
F.L.O.W.™ is built on almost 30 years of operational experience in high-hazard industries. It gives EHS leaders a repeatable structure to frame, position and land proposals with the people who hold the budget and authority to act.
Clarify the critical risk or initiative you are addressing and give decision-makers the shared understanding they need before you present the case. Context shapes whether your proposal is heard as a problem to solve or a box to tick.
Connect your initiative to what operational and commercial leaders actually care about: production continuity, cost, reputation and regulatory resilience. Speak their language, not the language of compliance.
Shape your message around your stakeholders rather than the technical detail. A well-framed proposal removes the reasons for deferring a decision and gives leaders a clear path to yes.
The decision is rarely made in the room. Build trust and alignment before the formal moment arrives. Influence the people who matter and make saying yes feel like the obvious next step.
One fully developed, practised, decision-maker-ready pitch. Built around your real initiative, tailored to your stakeholders, tied to outcomes they care about. A proposal you can walk into a boardroom with the week after the programme ends.
You bring your actual safety challenge and work on it in a small cohort. Marieke understands your stakeholders and context.
Sessions are recorded so you can revisit the learning after the live programme.

You are an EHS or HSE professional, process safety manager or safety leader in manufacturing, chemicals, energy, metals, mining, construction or logistics. You have technically solid proposals that are not getting the leadership support or funding they deserve.
You are looking for a passive learning experience or a theory course. This programme is for professionals who are ready to work on a real initiative and deliver a practised pitch by the end of four live hours.
Chemical engineer by training. Former VP Safety and Environment at Shell and Director EHS at AkzoNobel. Fifteen years in direct operational roles across energy, petrochemicals, chemicals and cleantech.
I have worked across four continents, in many different cultures and contexts. That taught me something no classroom could: safety means something different depending on where you stand, who you trust and what you have been through.
I have stood where you stand. I have navigated the crises, the pressure and the moments where everything depends on the people around you. That lived experience is what Be Human Be Safe is built on.
EHS and HSE professionals, process safety managers and safety leaders in high-hazard industries. It is for people who have technically solid proposals but are not getting the leadership support and funding they need.
You work on your own real safety initiative in a small cohort, not a generic case study. You leave with a finished, practised proposal ready to present to your decision-makers. Marieke works directly with every participant.
You should have a real safety challenge you are working on. It does not need to be fully developed. The four live hours are designed to shape and sharpen your proposal from wherever it currently is.
A clearer stakeholder strategy, a crafted and practised pitch built around your own initiative and your Safety Influencer Score assessment. You leave with a proposal that is ready to deliver to your decision-makers.
Yes. You receive a certificate of completion qualifying as structured learning for IOSH, IIRSM and equivalent professional body CPD records.
