Instructor
Don Evans, a former Royal Air Force Wing Commander and fast jet aviator, has over 20 years’ experience leading a wide range of complex and demanding operations in hostile conditions within an international context. He was a qualified instructor on several aircraft types and was responsible for leadership training. Don is a Civil Aviation Authority qualified Crew Resource Management (‘Human Factors’) Trainer with extensive experience in this area across several industries with a focus on Oil & Gas.
Don is Head of Human Factors at Mission Performance, a global leadership consultancy, specialising in O&G with over 20 years’ experience. Don has led the design and implementation of the Well Operations Crew Resource Management & Human Factors programme. He has worked to introduce a series of trainings for Drillers, Engineers and Well Site leaders, delivering multiple courses across the world. Mentoring and coaching people to achieve their full potential as leaders and team members in a dynamic environment is Don's principal focus. He believes that effective leadership begins with demonstrating behaviors, standards and values to both your direct reports and entire team every day. These qualities — added to a clear purpose, consistent mentoring, and a determination to transform complexity into simplicity — form the basis for a high-performance environment.
Before joining Mission, Don held senior positions in a multinational telecoms company. He was responsible for the operational delivery of 2000 field engineers, as well as the training of several hundred apprentices. He implemented the honesty, rigour and accountability based on the ‘Just Culture’ of military aviation across his 120 strong management team, which led to a step change in safety, efficiency and employee engagement throughout his workforce. A keen sportsman, Don also represented the RAF and Great Britain at Bobsleigh before common sense combined with a few injuries led to him hanging up his ice spikes. During 9 years of competition, he competed for GB in international races as a 4-man and 2-man driver on over 30 occasions against the major Alpine nations.
