My story of 12.5 Still Alive, Life After 12,500 Volts
It is relevant to your safety and the safety of your employees when I share the story about my life and the tragedy I experienced due to my lack of situational awareness.

I want to make sure that everyone understands that safety is a choice. We too often expect nothing to happen to us unless someone else causes the accident. At times this is the case, but more often we are injured for one reason or another due to our own negligence. When you lose your awareness of a situation, you take a risk of being involved in an accident that may have been avoidable. 

Do you text when you drive? Do you really need too? All you need to do is remove your eyes from the road for a moment and your entire surroundings can change. I could describe cinereous, but you can imagine a tragic accident all on your own. Maybe you even had a close call once while driving and texting? Are you still texting and driving? Sure everyone else does it, but does that make it a good choice?

When I share my story with you and your employees, I will demonstrate with images and share my testimony of how in the blink of an eye my life changed. Not only did my life change, but also the lives of my family, friends, co-workers and an entire community. Too many of us think that if we make a poor choice in regards to our safety that it will only affect us. Let me help you and your employees dispel this myth.
