In the Blast Zone, Suicide Bombing in Jakarta

Welcome to another gripping episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where we unravel the intense narratives of business travel, delving into the heart of risk management. 

In this episode, we step into the shoes of Mike Causey, whose business trip to Jakarta takes an unimaginable turn as he finds himself mere feet away from a suicide bomber detonating in a hotel.

Join host, Bex Deadman, as she navigates through Mike's harrowing experience and reflects on the crucial lessons it imparts. Bex sheds light on the importance of scenario-based training, emphasising how organisations cannot afford to rely solely on the assumption that their staff will train themselves for such critical situations.

As Mike grapples with the aftermath of the traumatic event, Bex explores the complex emotions of survivor's guilt, offering a compassionate perspective on the mental and emotional toll that such incidents can take on individuals. Bex underscores the necessity for organisations to provide robust support systems for employees who have faced such traumatic events.

Join us for another episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where each tale is a lesson, and every journey is a risk worth exploring.
