you can count me - everything matters

  • Life is a team game just like football. The margin for error in either game is so small that a step in the wrong direction makes the difference between winning or losing and between living or dying. The other constant in both games is the need for absolute commitment. Everyone must be 100 per cent accountable to their team and this commitment is essential for any degree of success. There are so many distractions affecting people today. They have access to everything they need at the touch of a button and that doesn’t even begin to address the distractions coming from every angle. We know that small choices lead to large consequences over time for ourselves and the world around us. Incremental choices lead to huge outcomes that improve or detract from our lives.  Our choices affect more than the person making them. Our choices affect our family, friends, and people we don’t know, in ways we’d never imagine.

    If you need your team to fight through all the distractions so they can be present in their tasks…
    If you want them to fight through the fog to make the right decisions and follow the procedures that will keep them safe…
    If you need a commitment from everyone on your team… Then you need to remind them that everything matters. At the end of the day, everyone has to count on each other and that’s the point!

    All of Dan’s keynotes can be tailored to your company goals and message.

Dan Comiskey, I would like to thank you for the very moving presentation you put on at Taurus Site Services Inc at Northwest Redwater Partnership Site.

I am so happy to see you have such a passion in our industry and profession and I think you hit home to a lot of people. My crews continue to speak of your visit and your openness to them and allowing the pictures with you and your ring were a huge success. Keep up the good work. Stay safe and keep in touch.

Dan, I would like to thank you for the very moving presentation you put on at Shell Albian Sands. It was very hard to hold back tears in a room full of big tough construction workers. Your passion is needed in our profession and I think you hit home to many people. My crews were very thankful to sit in on your session also. Keep up the good work. I tried to shake your hand but the line and the crowd was too big. Stay safe bro.
