Safety Speakers Can Learn From Their Audience Great safety speakers can learn as much from their audience as the audience learns from them. As a safety speaker I had the pleasure of speaking at two conferences this year held by Innovative Risk Management. The first meeting was in Dallas, Texas. As with every successful meeting […]

As a safety speaker I hear and see much material about cellular phones. Most conversations about cellular phone safety have been approached from the perspective of the person on the cellular phone driving, walking or doing some other activity. Imagine yourself at your desk, at home sitting down, or someplace else where everyone would agree […]

Apollo One Memorial As a safety speaker I have had some amazing opportunities as a result of my travels and my work. In January, 2015, I had the privilege of attending the memorial service for the Apollo One Astronauts. This ceremony is held on January 27th each year beginning at 6:00pm Eastern Time and ending […]

As a safety speaker I think of communicating safety every day. On New Years Eve I saw an excellent use of social media to send a positive safety message. One of my Facebook friends Tom posted the following the afternoon of New Years Eve. In following the comments I don’t believe any one took him […]

Safety People Are A Special Breed One of the fun parts of being an international safety speaker is the opportunity to travel and meet friends, fellow safety speakers, associates and you at safety conferences. This June safety professionals and team members gathered in Dallas for the annual American Society of Safety Engineers Professional Development Conference. […]

Do People Care? As an international safety speaker, I would say, “Absolutely, yes.” In one of my presentations, I ask the question, “What is the opposite of love?” One of the most common answers is, “Hate.” While that is not wrong; I think the real opposite of love is “apathy”. If love is caring about […]

The best safety speakers need to know how to have fun with serious subjects. As an international safety speaker I fly thousands of miles every year.
