2026 14th Saiosh Conference. Cape Town, South Africa

Organizational Learning Through Storytelling 

July 31st, 2026

I had the privilege of returning to Africa to keynote the SAIOSH Conference in Cape Town, presenting Organizational Learning Through Storytelling.

Drawing from my journey from Ghana to Wyoming, safety leadership, and human-centered photography, I explored how stories help us see beyond events to the context, relationships, and conditions that shape work.

Using photography, personal stories, and workplace examples, I invited participants to consider a simple idea: learning begins when we create space for people’s stories and communicate in ways that connect with their reality.

I came hoping to contribute. I left with a renewed appreciation for the work already happening across Africa and a deeper sense of purpose to serve it.
