Safety Sistas

Welcome to our first episode of Safety Sistas! The podcast about the people who keep you safe. I interview people who fascinate me with their experience, wisdom and knowledge in the world of safety and I want to celebrate the work they do behind the scenes to keep us all safe at events (and beyond). We kick things off with a bang with the wise and hilarious KT Sonnen. KT has worked in event security and medical for almost twenty years, is COO of Invictus Professional Training and now a full time PhD student. She shares with us how she got into this niche sector, how her career evolved and why she is now studying for a PhD on the behavioural science of protective security. Prepare to be taken on a rollercoaster ride as we navigate her experience, stories and how she learned a lot about crowd management from cows. Yes that’s not a typo. There was so much packed into this short hour so I hope to welcome KT back soon to go deeper into some of the critical topics we discussed for the future of the events industry.
