Safetree Conference: Connect for Success
26 & 27 March 2020, TSB Auditorium (Shed 6), Wellington
FISC and FICA are again proud to partner to support the success of our forestry companies and the health and wellbeing of our foresters.
It is becoming more and more obvious that successful work is about more than just best safety practices. It’s also influenced by the health and wellbeing of workers, the work environment and how well external pressures to achieve productivity are managed. This conference will address those issues and offer tangible ideas on how they can be managed.
The presentations and workshops are relevant to a broad range of people, from CEOs to frontline workers, members and non-members of FICA and general industry participants. The speakers in the morning will talk about health and safety from a leadership and successful work perspective, offering real examples of how these can be put into practice. The afternoon workshops are about lifting capability, so attendees will come away with some new tools and skills to use.

9.15am: Keynote Speaker – Dr Lance O’Sullivan - Topic: How does smart healthcare create a safe work environment in the bush
Dr Lance O’Sullivan is an accomplished author, national and international speaker, role model and disruptive leader and innovator. From a young boy labelled by society as a trouble maker, Lance developed into a passionate advocate for Māori health. He is a pioneer for equal health care in his community and a champion for creating a fairer New Zealand. In June 2012 Lance made the headlines when he left his former employer after a difference in patient philosophy – he believed in treating patients regardless of whether or not they could afford treatment. He left disillusioned with a system that failed to deliver the care needed for his patients and vowed to change the system for the better.
Now ensconced in the Far North of New Zealand, Lance has set about making this happen. Harnessing the skills he acquired from his cultural heritage and medical training, he and his wife Tracy established Navilluso Medical, a healthcare company committed to developing innovative ways to ensure appropriate and quality health care reached the right people in the right place at the right time.Lance and Tracy, have seven beautiful children (5 boys and 2 girls).
They live and work in Kaitaia, a remote and challenged area of rural New Zealand. Lance truly believes that he has led a charmed life and even now reflects on this…“I used to feel that I should pinch myself to see if how life had played out for me was real or a dream”. Lance founded The MOKO Foundation, inspired by the opportunities that he himself had experienced in life and which allowed him to grow and develop into a well-educated, well-rounded, family man and community leader.
Today, as the Chair of The MOKO Foundation, Lance is truly passionate about and devoted to connecting people with opportunities for a better Aotearoa New Zealand.

1.15pm: Workshops (Choice of two)
Busy Brain Syndrome – Lucia Kelleher, Topic: Busy Brain Annihilates Resilience
Dr Lucia Kelleher, a behavioural neuroscientist, discovered Busy Brain Syndrome (BBS) from her Ph.D. studies. BBS manifests as attention overload due to too much environmental stimulus, causing brain fatigue, which halves the brain's attention processing bandwidth. The brain compensates for BBS by conserving brain energy, which causes the brain to relegate more ‘things’ to ‘autopilot’ and erodes resilience to dealing with normal day to day 'life matters'. Resilience is further eroded by the relentless mind chatter which is rarely positive, particularly towards ourselves. Learn about busy brain, and how you can get back in the driver’s seat, ignore the monkey mind and cope much better with day to day life.
