Thank you for the terrific and powerful safety message you delivered to our employees and customers yesterday. I've gotten many compliments and strong feedback about how much more aware they now are of the consequences of seemingly trivial actions can have on safety.
You have a great style that rivets people's attention for an hour and a half by combining humor with the seriousness of the safety top and hard lessons learned from your observations as an EMT. You kept our attention completely and I have no doubt you will have saved some of us from serious injury or illness due to your fine presentation.

Our feedback on this session was very complimentary to your presentation skills and wealth of knowledge in this area.
As you are aware, delegates to our conference were comprised of risk managers
from major corporations and Governments from across Canada, the U.S. and Eastern Europe.
Despite diverse backgrounds, delegates obtained helpful information and many useful tips on injury
prevention to bring back to their organizations. |

Your
presentation style had a very dramatic
impact on the messages you delivered.
Many people will recall the situations
during your presentation and I am
positive that these situations will make
them think "twice" before proceeding in
an unsafe manner. Mission accomplished! |

...I was overwhelmed by the positive comments they provided after your
presentation. To list them all here would take all night to type, but the general feeling
was that it was a great message, applicable to us in both the workplace and home.
...I've been to hundreds of safety presentations throughout my career, but few have been as
thought-provoking and entertaining as yours.
I would gladly recommend you to other companies who are looking at increasing the focus on
safety relating to their employees and their families.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for making our Ninth Annual Celebrate Safety Banquet truly an event to remember.
As you pointed out in your keynote speech, though, safety is something we need to think about in every aspect of our life.
The eight points that you presented, and the stories told to illustrate their importance, were both insightful and entertaining.

A very effective message, done in a terrific way. I really enjoyed it.
The presentation really tied in the message that we learned from the other speakers in the morning!
What a good topic, I'm going to buy his book!
Very educational! I could relate to a lot of the stories he told. Now I'll think twice before I do something.
I had a great time, please have him come back!
Martin was very effective in getting his message out, I learned a lot.

Your talks were informative, interesting and entertaining on what
can be a grim subject. Your many helpful tips will be valuable for our employees
and I know they have been thought-provoking. The subject matter dove tailed nicely
with our safety/health program, promoting a healthy and safe lifestyle at home as
well as work. |

Everyone
I have spoken with was touched in
some way by your stories. Your first
hand experience provided a glimpse into
the consequences of our actions, and
make a point that it affects many other
people than just ourselves. Your
delivery was excellent - just the right
combination of humor mixed in with the
very sobering stories. |

You captivated our attendees and created
quite a buzz at our station. One
point especially hit home was that
"Accidents (injuries) are predictable
and preventable events and they don't
have to happen". All too often you hear
employees state that getting injured on
the job will eventually happen and is
just one of those accepted risks. But
after your presentation workers stated
they definitely felt differently about
that misconception. |
