Speaking that people remember when it matters
Steven does not deliver a generic safety presentation. He shares the choices, pressures and human behaviour behind the accident that changed his life and connects those lessons directly to the decisions people make on site every day.
One Choice, One Life Keynote
Steven’s signature talk combines his near fatal accident, PTSD and recovery with hard hitting lessons about choices, responsibility, safety and mental wellbeing.
Behavioural Safety & Stand Downs
Ideal for safety days, stand downs and project briefings. The session challenges shortcuts, time pressure, overconfidence and the dangerous voice that says, “It’ll be alright.”
Safety & Mental Wellbeing
A powerful connection between what people carry into work, the decisions they make and their willingness to speak up. Honest, relatable and relevant to every level of the workforce.
What your people will take away
- Confidence is not competence: feeling comfortable does not remove risk.
- Reassurance is a warning: if you have to tell yourself it will be alright, stop and reassess.
- Shortcuts have consequences: saving minutes can change lives forever.
- Reporting matters: people must feel able to speak up without fear.
- Wellbeing affects safety: what is happening outside work can influence decisions inside it.
- Five seconds can be enough: pause, think and make the safer choice.
Suitable for
Construction, civil engineering, utilities, water, oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics and organisations that want stronger safety conversations and healthier workplace cultures.
Available formats
Keynote talks, safety stand downs, toolbox events, leadership sessions, workforce briefings, conferences and tailored company events. Sessions can be shaped around your audience, site and priorities.
