The Fleet Safety Council (FSC) Conference Committee would like to share the following update:
The 35th Annual Fleet Safety Council Educational Conference will take place in person on Friday October 23 in Brampton Ontario.
While the conference is still months away, the conference committee members have finalized the agenda and are excited to announce that registration is now open. The topics have been based on the valuable feedback/input collected from participants of last year’s event.
Keynote speaker
The Conference Committee is pleased to announce this year’s keynote speaker as Dr. Johanna Pagonis. Johanna is the founder and CEO of Sinogap Solutions Inc., a leadership and organizational development firm that partners with organizations in law enforcement, government, construction, and non-profits across Canada to strengthen leadership capacity, psychological safety, and overall organizational effectiveness.
Johanna holds a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology from McGill University and a PhD in Adult Education from the University of Alberta. She also served as an academic instructor at the University of Alberta, where she taught graduate-level courses in research methods. Her academic background directly informs Sinogap’s approach to designing evidence-based workplace learning strategies that are practical, relevant, and measurable. Through Sinogap, Johanna and her team have developed more than 1,000 leaders throughout Canada. Their work draws not only on Johanna’s doctoral research, but also on applied research conducted in partnership with client organizations. This dual focus ensures programs are designed to support meaningful behaviour change and maximum return on investment, rather than one-time training events.
What makes Sinogap Solutions unique is its integrated, wraparound approach to organizational effectiveness. Rather than addressing leadership development, change management, and psychological safety in isolation, Sinogap designs solutions that intentionally connect these elements. This approach reduces the need for multiple consultants and supports organizations in building internal capacity to sustain progress well beyond the formal engagement. Johanna is the author of Choose to Be a Leader Others Would Want to Follow and is currently writing a second book on psychological safety and the creation of brave spaces at work.
