Dr. Darin Detwiler to lead Goal Oriented Leadership Communication Workshop at the Food Safety Consortium
Rick Biros, Food Safety Consortium Conference Committee Co-Chair announced that Dr. Darin Detwiler, a professor, author, and internationally recognized food safety expert, will lead a pre-conference workshop called Goal Oriented Leadership Communication, an interactive workshop that will explore best-in-class communication strategies rooted in behavioral science.
“Effective leadership in food safety isn’t just about setting rules—it’s about influencing behavior through clear, goal-driven communication. Simply telling employees to wash their hands or follow protocols “because you said so” is not enough to ensure compliance or drive long-term change. So how can leaders at all levels—from plant managers to frontline supervisors—communicate in a way that aligns actions with core food safety goals.” said Dr. Detwiler.
Workshop Participants will gain practical tools to:
- Align leadership messages with desired food safety outcomes
- Enhance communication effectiveness through structured inputs, actions, outputs, and measurable results
- Improve documentation and reporting to reinforce accountability
- Develop strategies to overcome persistent food safety challenges
Attendees will not only engage in hands-on exercises but will also leave with a customizable worksheet to plan, implement, and evaluate communication strategies in their own workplaces. Join this session to strengthen your leadership impact and drive a stronger culture of food safety through goal-oriented communication.
