When it comes to student travel, the biggest risks aren't always where you expect them. They often show up in the moments between destinations.

In this episode of When Minutes Matter, Carolena Enayati speaks with Rob Greene, Associate Director of Risk Management and Curriculum Development at NationsClassroom, about what it takes to manage risk when students are constantly on the move.

Drawing from his experience in wilderness response, education, and global student travel, Rob shares how organizations can prepare their people for the unexpected without taking away from the experience.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Why transitions like transportation, hotel check-ins, attractions, and free time can create unexpected risks
• How crisis simulations prepare teams for real-world emergencies
• The added challenges of managing safety during international travel
• How misinformation and social media can complicate crisis response
• Why clear communication and strong decision-making matter during an emergency
• How to build a culture where risk management is everyone's responsibility
• Why organizations should train people to make decisions, not just prepare for specific scenarios

One of Rob's biggest takeaways: You can't prepare for every possible crisis, but you can prepare your people to gather the right information, make effective decisions, communicate clearly, and adapt when circumstances change.

If you work in risk management, safety, emergency preparedness, education, or student travel, this conversation is packed with practical insights worth hearing.
