     "The Jeff Walter's Story "Shattered" was given at our Annual North America Sustainability Conference. His ability to reach people through his message really helped our managers be able to truly have an affect on the behaviors of the teams that they lead. Jeff has the ability to talk to the employees and explain behavioral based safety in a meaningful way which is a true testament that he really cares about making a difference by telling people about his unsafe decisions to help prevent others from making the same decisions. Jeff is truly interested in making a difference in organizationssafety cultures and is able to make a difference by delivering his message with professionalism, sense of humor, and a strong knowledge of what employees think before they make that bad decision."

     "Yesterday I attended the Behavior Based Safety training and I want to share my perspective on this program and the facilitators:

     The overview content is very thorough and provides a good basis of understanding on the 'why, what, where and when' elements. From a teaching point of view they've followed the 'tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and tell them what you told them' by reviewing the learning objectives/goals and then checking with the participants at the end of the session to see if they achieved those learning objectives. Great work!

     What really made this class work were the facilitators. I was very impressed with their enthusiasm, experience and knowledge sharing throughout the session. The most impactful piece to me is that they truly spoke from the heart and believe in this program. I think it would be hard for someone to sit through the session and say 'I don't want any part of this.'"

     "Each week I noticed the operations team returning to the control room after hearing Jeff's presentation. They were full of talk about what they had seen and were encouraging others to go listen to Jeff. Even some of the 30+ year veterans said it was the best safety presentation they ever saw. I made my way to hear Jeff with high expectations. He delivered a thought provoking and interactive message that I could see was hitting home to a lot of folks. I encourage everyone to listen to what Jeff has to say as he will definitely not disappoint!"

     "I just wanted to thank you both again for making our department safety presentation a success. Sherry, your idea on using the Jeff Walter's story was a great one. Jeff, your personal story, presence, and presentation were exactly what I needed to make the impact I was trying to bring to our meeting.

     I have had several team members come to me in the past two days to say how memorable the meeting was, and to say Good Job. Since I did very little except to bring it all together, I wanted to make sure you two knew it was your efforts, not mine that warrants the praise."

     "A facilitator who has technical knowledge of safety principles and accident investigation techniques is a plus. A facilitator who can relate to an audience of both labor and management is also an advantage. A facilitator who has a presentation style that is professional, informal and entertaining is a rare find. With Jeff Walters, you get all three. Jeff's technical knowledge of safety principles, his command of presentation skills and his broad experience base captures a variety of audiences. I have had an opportunity to see Jeff tell his story and present a range of other safety topics at crew meetings and large group settings. The audience, no matter what size, is interested, engaged and appreciative of whatever topic Jeff presents."

     "In my position as a safety ambassador, I have discovered that personal testimonies are powerful tools in preventing unsafe behavior. The Jeff Walters Story, "Shattered Into A Million Pieces", gives a vivid description of the impact workplace injuries can bring into one's life. It is a compelling story of how his injury affected him, his family, his co-workers, and made him look at safety in an entirely new light. Jeff, as only he can, tells his story in a way that forces you to relive the entire episode with him. "The Jeff Walters Story", is one every safety professional should share with their co-workers to help prevent workplace injuries."

     "The first thing I would like to say is this man talks the talk and walks the walk in regard's to safety! We went to a safety conference in Fernandina Beach, Florida and Jeff gave a safety presentation on his accident. He was excellent! I truly believe this man cares about being safe! Because of what happen to him, he wants to get the message out so no one else gets hurt."

     "Jeff Walters came to our site in January 2018 to present to a staff of approximately 1000 employees spread out over a couple days. Jeff's personal story was well received by all levels of the organization with many teary eyes leaving at the end of the presentation. Jeff communicated effectively that your choices not only impact you, but also your family, friends and loved ones and those decisions often have long lasting effects. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff's presentation as it was thought provoking, emotional and challenging. Feedback from the site has been extremely positive and has helped us shift our safety culture. We aren't through with our journey, but Jeff certainly provided a springboard to move us in the right direction.
Thank you Jeff!"
