Meet the Author - Brian King

“I help leaders see what others miss — the invisible energy behind every task, decision, and incident.”

Hi, I’m Brian King — author of Luck to Leadership: Energy to Harm Resilience (EHR)Model™ and creator of the Energy-to-Harm Resilience (EHR) Model™.

I’ve spent over 15 years working across workshops, logistics yards, manufacturing lines, and global teams as a Senior Regional HSE Manager. Along the way, I noticed a pattern: the most serious incidents didn’t come from recklessness or neglect — they came from unseen energy slipping past weak or untested barriers.

That realisation started a journey — one that led me to build the EHR Model and its visual core, the EHR 12-Block™. I now use this model to map hazards, strengthen systems, and guide conversations that move beyond checklists and into real resilience.

The turning point came from two simple — but powerful questions:

From my mentor:

“How do we help team members see hazards?”

And from my son:

“What about the person’s energy?”

Those questions gave this model — and this book — its heartbeat.

Today, I write, speak, and coach on how leaders can:

• Make energy visible before it becomes harmful.

• Replace luck with foresight.

• Strengthen systems that protect both people and performance.

Because leadership isn’t about waiting for something to go wrong — it’s about seeing what could go wrong, and building better before it does.

Let’s stop relying on luck. Let’s lead with resilience.

Personal Mission Statement

“I help leaders see what others miss — the invisible energy behind every task, decision, and incident.”

Through the EHR Model, I aim to replace luck with foresight, strengthen systems, and protect the people who rely on them.
This mission began as a personal project — a way to give back, without compromising the job I’m proud to do or the family balance I’ve worked hard to build.
I believe leadership begins with energy awareness — mechanical, human, and emotional — and that protecting others starts with protecting ourselves.
