On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Ashley Semmens former Royal Australian Navy Clearance Diver.

Ashley spent 18 years in the Australian navy enlisting in 2005 into the direct entry program as a Clearance Diver. Ashley deployed multiple times which included Op Resolute Border Security,  OP Manitou, a human remains recovery in Tongan deep waters and two deployments to Afghanistan on OP Slipper providing Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Reconnaissance to the Infantry combat team whilst on patrol in Afghanistan and during the withdrawal of Afghanistan in 2021.  In 2022 he was medically discharged at the rank of Chief Petty Officer in which now he volunteers his time to the Clearance Diver Trust.

Clearance Divers (CDs) are the Australian Defence Forces’ specialist divers. CD tasks include specialist diving missions to depths of 54 metres, surface and underwater demolitions, and the rendering safe and disposal of conventional explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices.

My guest today is Gareth Lock.  Gareth spent 25 years in the Royal Air Force as a flight instructor, a navigator on C-130 Hercules, a systems engineer and a requirements manager. Following his retirement from the RAF in 2015 he started work in high-risk industries teaching Human Factors and Crew Resource Management (CRM).  Eventually Gareth turned his attention to diving, applying a military systems approach to diving risk management by creating an organization called The Human Diver which is focused on what they describe as Counter-Errorism. Specifically, Gareth and his team provides training globally to high reliability and high-risk organizations on leadership, culture, and practical measures to improve operator safety.  In 2019 Gareth led a team of military experts to undertake a review of UK military diving with the goal of improving diver safety. Gareth has worked with the US National Parks Service Submerged Resource Centre (Denver, CO), National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NZ), and the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (USA) to provide human factors training and high-performance team development courses.

Gareth is the author of the book Under Pressure – Diving Deeper with Human Factors which looks at case studies of near disasters and applies academic theory to understanding how we can better communicate and lead those in high risk/high reliability units.  

I am excited to have Gareth on because his views of human fallibility, although rooted in diving, have broad lessons to teach anyone who leads others, especially those working in high-risk areas.

Evolution Managing Partner and Coach Stuart McCalla, and Evolution Managing Director and Master Coach Matt Auron discuss how to navigate the nuances of leading in an increasingly complex world. As leaders encounter teams with drastically divided perspectives, the importance of understanding oneself becomes paramount. Matt and Stuart share insights into how to “sit in the quiet center” and lead with awareness, inclusivity, and humanity. 

Our guest, Stuart McCalla, supports senior leaders and leadership teams of fast-growing companies, and has worked as a leadership coach for clients at Slack, Glassdoor, Dropbox, Twitter, Eventbrite, ADP, and many others. He also currently works with Slack’s Next Chapter organization (an initiative that brings professional equity to the formerly incarcerated). Stuart’s experience includes over 15 years of peer counseling, through work focused on Sexism, Racism, and  LGBTQ issues. Stuart advocates for the elimination of these issues, by finding spaces for members of underrepresented or target groups, to heal and reflect. Some of his tools and methodologies include the Leadership Circle Profile Assessment certification and the Enneagram for individual growth.

This week on A Novel Console, Chris and Karradyne discuss Rowan Atkinson's latest Netflix series, Man vs. Bee. Karradyne then surprises Chris with a corn dildo.

He talks about about enjoying Dusk Diver 2, which releases on August 30th, and how great Soul Hackers 2 is. They end the show with another terrible meal from Denny’s.
