Travel security and executive protection remain key priorities for security teams, but outdated approaches can limit an organisation’s ability to respond effectively when incidents occur.

We’re joining Dataminr for a webinar that explores the current landscape of these two crucial areas, the challenges organisations are facing, and how technology is helping to close the gap.

Healix International CEO, James Henderson, will be part of the expert panel, offering a practical view on how organisations are adapting to today’s evolving risk landscape. From real-world stories to practical strategies, this session will offer valuable insights for any team looking to strengthen their travel risk and executive protection programmes.

What does good security look like when the story can’t wait?

Journalists and security professionals often work side by side in high-risk environments, but bring very different instincts to the job. One is trained to move fast and close to the action. The other to slow things down, to manage risk.

When those instincts clash, it’s not just the team dynamic that can suffer - it can undermine the whole operation.

Healix International's Ali Hassan explores how mutual respect, shared planning and softer skills can reshape the relationship between media security teams and frontline reporters.

“Mental health issues can escalate quickly leading to a multi-dimensional problem - cost to the individual and their family, cost to the business and cost to the policy”

James Henderson, Healix International CEO shared this insight at Gallagher’s IBIS Mobility Congress, emphasising why mental health must be central to global mobility planning, not an afterthought.

In his session, James outlined some key challenges and emphasised the critical role of early risk detection, customised training, and well-defined protocols to enhance support for staff who are far from home.

A huge thank you to Gallagher for hosting an insightful event, and to everyone who participated in the discussion.

“Preparation buys confidence – and cuts down on surprises.”

Wise words from Sue Williams QPM, strategic advisor to Healix International, and one of the UK’s most experienced hostage negotiators.

Sue shares practical advice for leaders looking to improve their negotiation skills – drawn from years resolving high-stakes, high-pressure cases - with Business Insider.

While most business deals don’t involve life-or-death stakes, the core principles still apply:

➡️Do your research.
➡️Stay emotionally aware.
➡️Build trust before you talk outcomes.
➡️And above all, listen.

Sue’s perspective, alongside that of leadership expert George Kohlrieser, makes this a must-read for anyone navigating complex decisions or conversations.

What happens when travellers don't have the right cover? It’s a situation we all see too often – and one that’s avoidable.

Last week, our own Gary Gofton, representing the assistance industry, joined voices from the FCDO and the insurance sector at ITIC UK to ask: how do we fix this?

The conversation covered everything from policy confusion to pre-existing conditions - and the shared responsibility we all carry to educate, inform, and support people when it matters most.

If you're working at the intersection of travel, risk and public service, it's a conversation worth revisiting. Read the full takeaways from this session shared by ITIJ 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q03lcB6z0
