Toolbox Safety Talks that Don't Bore you Death: Find Great Content and Make them Engaging!

Do your Toolbox Safety Talks engage your audience, provoke great discussion all while compelling people to take action on safety and health in their personal and professional lives? The soft-skills or people skills of presenting, public speaking and a powerful delivery have fallen by the wayside. This Webinar resurrects these skills in a fun and easy-to-apply manner.

Why Should You Attend:

If you find it difficult to lead a meaningful safety meeting, then this talk is for you! Too often I’ve heard people tell me that they’ve never gotten any guidance on how to prepare, find good content, and take a list of steps, a statistic or procedure and turn it into an engaging talk. And sadly, in some cases the Toolbox Talk or Safety Huddle devolves to just passing around a piece of paper and saying, “This is the talk for the week. Sign it.” AHHHHHHHHHH. This can’t be! And it won’t be anymore after attending this relevant webinar that will give you practical tips for immediate use!
