All parents have hired a babysitter. Doug relates to your audience with this familiar concept and points out the difference between a parent and babysitter. He drives home the point that safety programs need people more like parents and less like babysitters.  This simple and funny story brings your expectations of safety to light.

The audience leaves with a greater sense of responsibility for safety of self and others.

Effective Safety leadership is dependent on leaders caring about people. Many business leaders see through the numbers lens; reliability numbers, productivity numbers, financial numbers, and so on. Numbers are important but they also can be cold and give the appearance that the leader is uncaring. Everybody remembers the injuries to people long after they remember the numbers.  Leaders must show that while numbers are important, people are more important.
Doug shows your leaders how to demonstrate how much they care about the people, while still maintaining the numbers.

We have all heard that safety and productivity go together.  Why wouldn’t we be automatically committed to something as simple as safety?  Why is this commitment thing so hard for us? Doug inspires your leaders with his story of how he became committed to safety.

After hearing and seeing Doug’s story, your leaders will follow his path.

Your audience will learn how to correct any violations of this integrity.
