Featured Keynote Programs

You want:

• Your employees to take personal responsibility for their own safety on and off their jobs;
• help your employees become "safety models" for others;
• create a positive association between safety and their jobs;
• show how working safely directly benefits the employees and their families, today and in the future; and
• safety meetings that are fun and informative and help people re-focus on safety!

John helps your employees to believe that safety is everyone's responsibility, not just the safety team or management. They will discover that when they take personal responsibility for their own safety they really get the best benefit. When you combine employees who have taken personal responsibility with a management team that is committed to a safe workplace your safety performance will improve dramatically. John gives you a safety meeting they will remember and talk about for months. You'll get employees that are excited about taking personal responsibility for their safety on the job and at home. Everyone will want to do what it takes to protect themselves. They'll realize that safety and their job go together. They'll think about how working safely results in a bright future for themselves and their families. You'll even get employees who enjoy a "Safety Meeting" for the first time! Through the stories and magic they'll be involved, motivated and leave wanting more...there's always a next time!This program is designed for employee meetings with 45 minutes to one hour available for John's Presentation.=

Make Safety fun and interesting for your whole team.Once your employees have heard "Ensure Your Safety" they are ready to go beyond personal responsibility to watching out for the safety of those around them. John will come back and do a completely different program teaching your employees how to improve their own safety by approaching safety as a team. A recognized expert in communication skills, John has developed a series of communication tools anyone can use to share safety concerns with others. Imagine the result to your incident rate when all of your employees serve as safety coaches for each other. If you are using a behavioral safety approach John can help employees with techniques to help them share the results of an observation. In our culture it is uncomfortable to correct or criticize someone else's behavior. This gets in the way of employees helping each other. Even when they see a hazard or behavior that could result in an injury they are reluctant to say anything. After they learn John's methods they will find it a comfortable and rewarding process.(Please note, "Ensure Your Safety" is a prerequisite for "Safety the Team Approach".)This program is designed for employee meetings with 45 minutes to 1 hour available.

"Safety For Leaders" is a special motivational presentation for leaders that contains some of the content of "Ensure Your Safety." It begins with making sure your corporate leadership is taking personal responsibility for their own safety. They as well as the rest of your employees must understand how working safely benefits them personally. It then addresses the issues they must understand that they are also responsible for the safety of those they supervise. Safety leadership is more than just cooperating with the safety department. It is making sure middle level management and employees understand that safety is a personal value of each leader and that values don't change when conditions change. John teaches your leadership how to communicate the need to work safely 100% of the time. John then moves into the beginning of his, "Mastering Communication," to give your leaders the skills to communicate effectively in everything they do but especially in safety.

This presentation is designed for management meetings with 45 minutes to 2 hours available.

Communication Skills for a Safe, Productive, and Profitable Workplace!Take your Safety Performance to the next level of excellence.Full-Day Course or four two - hour segments
You are looking for ways to communicate your message as effectively as possible because you know what is at stake. You want to put more passion and energy into your presentations because you know that your message can be interesting and exciting when presented effectively. You have always known that any content can be made interesting when delivered that way. You wish your employees could feel comfortable offering suggestions to others so that they would take action. A workplace full of "result-driven coaches" would take you a long way toward your goal. Retention of concepts and ideas is important and you want techniques that can increase retention. You are looking for ways to use relevant and effective stories to teach. You have many stories that with some effort could be used to effectively illustrate a concept in a way that people would remember it. You know you and your team members would be more effective when everyone is able to overcome the discomfort that can occur when giving group presentations.You want to:

• Make safety a team effort;
• Build passion and commitment to safety;
• Make a difference when you communicate your message;
• Reinforce in your mind and others that you are effective;
