Testimonials

You bring the message that attitude and values are synonymous with safety. There are two realities in safety: the rules/tools and the culture that enables them. Culture is more important than rules and tools. At ATCO Electric we have some of the best rules and tools. You were asked to address personal values and the mindset for safety that exists every day, at home, at play or at work. The values for safety and how they fundamentally link to attitude is not a business case. Your presentation brings the recognition that the “values” for safety do not change while everything else can. You also bring the message that a safety attitude and safety values are synonymous.

ATCO Electric

Three months after, we are still using his ideas. Three months after the presentation, our Regional Managers are still using his ideas. In an hour, he made our jobs so much easier. Our retailers get it too. We’re having more fun and more success.

Petro-Canada

Exactly what they needed to hear! Words can not express the impact Kevin has had on our company. His presentation was straight to the point. Would our people have been ready for Kevin a few years ago? No way. But today, he was exactly what they needed to hear. He is definitely the Attitude Adjuster! We recommend that everyone attend Kevin’s session. He is worth it!!

ARC Energy Resources

Amazed at how well he did his homework. I was amazed at how well Kevin did his homework and was able to take his presentation and make it fit around our customer group. His words of wisdom helped them better perform in their own businesses. He got our message across without sounding like he worked for the company. He made such a huge impact on these business people that they have been calling us to have Kevin come and speak to their people. It was a message of great value and he changed their attitudes of blame (fluctuating commodity prices, tight labour markets, etc.,) into one of accountable performance in their respective businesses.

Dow Agro-Sciences

Kevin has been a fabulous resource for me. Kevin has a way with words that makes sense – in everyday language that our people understand and appreciate. Kevin has been a fabulous resource for me as I work with our managers and supervisors to create a culture of greatness that includes attitudes of resilience, leadership, service, gratitude and more!
