Artificial Intelligence is moving quickly, and executives are under growing pressure to understand what it means for their organizations.

Leaders make decisions every day. Some are small and routine. Others carry real weight. They affect people, performance, safety, operations, and the direction of the team.

AI can become a powerful leadership co-pilot. Learn more within the new Leadership PRO segment LF-13.2: Amplifying Leadership Productivity and learn how to use AI as a practical co-pilot for your leadership work.

CAVU recently hosted its second quarter Human Performance Instructor (HPI) Community of Practice, bringing together HPI graduates, instructors, and leaders from across industries to share lessons learned, exchange best practices, and continue strengthening the global HPI community.

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!

CAVU recently supported a five-day workshop focused on Safety, Wells Operations Crew Resource Management (WOCRM), Simulations, and Roundtables—bringing together an international group of participants from Mexico, Turkey, Iraq, Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan.

CAVU delivers tailored, in-person seminars, workshops, and roundtables built for the realities of high-consequence work. This isn’t motivational speaking or generic leadership theory. It’s hands-on, practical training led by coaches with experience in demanding environments—so your leaders leave with tools they’ll actually use.

CAVU was proud to be represented at the 2026 IADC Drilling Caspian & Black Sea Conference, held 4–5 February in Baku, where industry leaders gathered to discuss the future of drilling safety, technology, and operational performance across the region.

CAVU, The RelyOn Leadership Academy, has signed a multi-year contract with Shell to provide leadership and coaching support within its Assist & Assure (A&A) program.

In this webinar, CAVU CEO Dave Burnham—retired Navy Commander and longtime leader in high-risk operations—will break down what actually separates teams that contain problems from teams that watch them escalate.

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.

Many leaders rise to their positions based on their knowledge, technical skills, aptitude, and performance. These are primarily left-brain, rational activities. However, Emotional Intelligence is a right-brain activity that involves emotion and wisdom. Properly developing this aspect can enhance leadership abilities beyond just analytical skills.
