As CEO of WYVERN Ltd since 2018, Sonnie has focused on Emotional Intelligence to achieve higher levels of safety for business aviation. He will be presenting on this as well as psychological safety. "To create a strong safety environment, we must employ soft skills – such as effective verbal and non-verbal communication and conflict management – so that we can effectively communicate and trust one another. For that, you need more than technical intelligence and skill; emotional intelligence and psychological safety are a must." Sonnie Bates, The Missing Piece of the Safety Puzzle, NBAA Insider
