“I had followed David Sarkus for many years before he came to speak for my company, Alta Forest Products. His story often inspired me to press further with safety and leadership. In 2015 Dave spoke at the Washington Governor’s Conference—the first time that I saw his speak at a live venue. His message was powerful and hit home to the group of safety committee members that I had brought with me. I finally had the opportunity to have Dave speak for Alta Forest Products, and he delivered his story in his usual manner—with power, emotion, excitement, and influence. He will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. Most of all, he will have you taking a hard look at how you view safety and leadership. He will push you to change your paradigm about safety. He will push you to make your culture for safety one that others will talk about – positively of course. Finally, he will make you think about how you lead others toward creating a lasting impression for safety. I cannot recommend Dave Sarkus enough.”

"Just a note to thank you for the excellent presentations you made at the NSC conference. I had the good fortune to attend two of your classes. The information that you provided, your insight into health & safety issues and the training advice you gave is priceless! Your approach of incorporating humor into the serious subject of health & safety training provides a functional method that will enable us to impart that information to employees more effectively. Your program not only makes the training fun, but stimulates the cognizant memory, aiding employees to remember the message longer." UAW Local 6000 State of Michigan Employees
