Scott Burrows Biography

Scott Burrows is a motivational safety speaker who brings the concepts of Vision, Mindset and Grit to life using his life-changing story as the backdrop for organizational success. Three simple, yet powerful words that when put into action can help your organization stand up to any challenge.

By the age of 19, Scott played college football at Florida State University for legendary coach Bobby Bowden and was a top-ranked kick-boxing Black Belt champion whose last fight was broadcast by ESPN. Scott’s life changed dramatically when he survived a catastrophic car accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down and diagnosed a quadriplegic. Told he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Scott realized his split-second decision to not wear a seat belt had altered his course forever.

Despite his grim diagnosis, Scott astounded his doctors and refused to be sidelined. After graduating with a degree in Finance, Scott served as a Financial Advisor. At the pinnacle of his career, Scott experienced yet another setback, a second automobile accident. Although buckled in this time, new injuries forced him to RE-evaluate, RE-invent and once again RE-ignite his life by practicing what he preaches.

During his nine month recovery, Scott reminisced about the overcoming adversity speakers he heard at sales and leadership conferences. Their life-changing stories inspire others to chase their dreams, regardless of obstacles or barriers. That’s when Scott decided he would make the tough decision to leave an industry he had so much passion and success in to pursue a speaking career that has taken him around the world.

SAFETY PRESENTATIONS:

#1 – Develop an Unstoppable Mindset: Success Strategies for Safety Teams & Supervisors

With the alarming predominance of workplace accidents caused by human error, the importance of engaging teams and individuals with safety procedures in a way that is meaningful to them and can promote significant change is crucial. Scott details his unforgettable, life-changing story of turning a paralyzing setback into a powerful comeback that inspires teams to develop a true safety MINDSET. Scott details how easy it is to become desensitized to common safety routines, and how ‘just this once’ can tragically impact the rest of their lives.

Told while using his own physical paralysis as a metaphor and blending eloquent storytelling with humor and crowd interaction, Scott leaves audiences captivated, inspired and ready to take action. Scott will impact your team by encouraging awareness, better day-to-day safety decisions and changing the way your employees view and approach their jobs. Listeners will walk away embracing workplace safety protocols as opposed to resisting or ignoring them.

Examine the safety Mindset of poise, execution and non-resistance
Learn how to create a clear Vision that entices your employees to follow safety procedures and promotes accountability for their teammates
Understand how forgiveness, a leadership trait, increases employee engagement and leads to greater safety protocol adherence
Find out how asking the ‘what’ questions can get you thinking differently and help prevent accidents in the workplace
Discover how to not let your mindset become your biggest handicap to increase productivity
Cultivate ways to unlock your Grit that can improve safety performance

#2 – The Mindset of Safety for Supervisors

Frontline safety supervisors are the linchpin for an effective safety culture and responsible for creating an environment that embraces self-awareness, accountability and non-resistance. In the midst of analyzing hazard investigations, regulatory requirements, training and maintaining a safe work environment, it is easy to lose focus, and harder still to find the daily grit to persevere in an ever-changing environment.

In this impactful leadership safety presentation, Scott teaches supervisors how to inspire teams to make better safety decisions while staying focused on a shared company vision that will lower your recordables.

What can I do to lead by example that will demonstrate my investment in individual team members and help educate workers that even a minor accident can have a devastating effect on everyone?
What can I do to encourage a shared responsibility in team members to not only follow individual procedures, but to ensure teammates are also demonstrating safe behaviors in the workplace?
What can I do today to positively reinforce safety compliance through encouragement and reward, rather than merely negative consequences after an accident has occurred?
What can I do to encourage my co-workers to make better safety decisions that will safeguard company protocols so they are not overlooked by management and fellow workers?

#3 – Fleet Safety: Peak Performance Strategies for Drivers

With vehicular accidents costing employers $60 billion per year in property damage, legal and medical expense as well as the loss of worker productivity, employee training and development will always be the key factor in keeping drivers safe, while also protecting your companies’ bottom line.

Nothing delivers the importance of safety better than a compelling personal story. Neuroscience studies confirm storytelling illuminates parts of the brain that are only active when a listener actually experiences something – triggering their imagination, engaging them with a deep emotional response and sealing it into subconscious memory. With these areas of the brain activated and connected by a physical and emotional response, memory retention has been shown to be up to 7 times more effective than training through facts and figures.

Key Program Takeaways:

Understand the method for creating a laser-focused mindset that will help drivers minimize road distractions and heighten awareness
Learn how to communicate a shared company vision that will impact drivers to take safety seriously
Discover adaptation strategies that will increase employee buy-in and crush resistance to safety protocols

Charlie Morecraft – Motivational Safety Speaker and Safety Coach

Charlie Morecraft — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 13:27:54 +0000

Charlie Morecraft, an ordinary guy with an extraordinary story!

Charlie had more than 15 years experience on the job, and he knew it well. He knew all the rules. He knew all the safety regulations . . . and he knew all the shortcuts around them too. Yes, Charlie was just like all the other seasoned workers at the refinery; he was certain that nothing could go wrong when he was in control. And he was right ….. Except for this one time . . .

When Charlie tells his story the audience sits in rapt attention as they are moved to new levels of awareness. Charlie has that rare and unique ability to speak with ordinary words and conjure extraordinary images. Both he and his story are unforgettable. His words are simple, and he tells us things we think we already know, but he tells it in a way that will dramatically change our attitudes toward safety forever.

Anyone who hears Charlie’s story will be deeply moved and motivated to never again take safety for granted.

Charlie’s emphasis is on the significance of attitude and personal responsibility.

Some of the learning objectives are:

(1) To facilitate insight into everyone’s own safety practices and attitudes

(2) To be a “wake-up call” that shakes people out of complacency and taking responsibilities for granted

(3) To make people become more responsible for their own safety on the job, at home, at play, at travel, everywhere. This continues to result in people handling all aspects of their lives with a greater awareness and appreciation of safety. Some examples are; wearing prescribed safety equipment on the job, following safety procedures at work and at home, wearing seat belts in moving vehicles, etc.

His primary messages are “Safety is about going home at the end of the day, kissing your wife and hugging your kids”, and “We are each responsible for our own safety”.

Having been critically injured in an explosion that burned over 45% of his body, Charlie Morecraft conveys, in the most penetrating way, the lesson he so painfully learned. Seldom, are people confronted by the real consequences of an abuse in safety practices.

They aren’t new messages, but Charlie gives us a powerful new way of looking at them.

Charlie Morecraft is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary story that Saves Lives!

Most people have the same attitude about safety that Charlie Morecraft had for a decade and a half while working at a refinery.

Charlie’s message alters people’s attitudes toward safety, their consciousness is raised to a new level.

Their actions and behavior go from being thoughtless, lackadaisical and routine to “safety first & always”.

Charlie Morecraft is a powerful and dynamic public speaker. His audiences get a highly personal, private look at what happened to one man – – – and how it could happen to any one of us. As Charlie always says – “I’m just an ordinary guy…with an extraordinary story to tell”.

On-Site Safety Presentations & Streaming & Live Safety Webinars

Charlie’s Speakers Team – Michael Melnik M.S., O.T.R

Charlie Morecraft — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 18:15:33 +0000

We are proud to have Michael S. Melnik M.S., O.T.R. as part of our speaker’s team!

Michael S. Melnik Biography

Michael Melnik is an occupational therapist with a master’s degree in exercise physiology, focused on helping organizations “Energize” their programs and their people. For more than 30 years he has presented his practical, high energy and humorous approach to over 750,000 participants around the world. He is the author and talent in several award-winning injury prevention videos in use by thousands of companies. Some of his clients include Coca Cola, Best Buy, Wells Fargo, Exxon-Mobil, PetSmart, The Home Depot, General Mills, Wal-Mart and many others.

On-Site Presentations

1. The Energized Approach for Creating a Safe, Healthy and Productive Workplace

Target Audience: Managers, Supervisors, leads and anyone with a responsibility for the safety of employees.

Those in a position of responsibility are often faced with the monumental task of “introducing change” and “getting everyone on board”. Keeping employees actively engaged in the safety process can be a daunting, time-consuming and often thankless task. The Energized Approach provides the leadership team with effective strategies to “generate and capture” the energy needed to drive safe behaviors and insure that the company’s safety efforts generate the maximum return on investment. In this fun, high energy and information packed session Michael introduces the 10 essential energy sources and demonstrates how this time-tested approach reduces resistance and maximizes participation. The Energized Approach energizes participants and offers them a strategy that helps them create a work environment that is primed for action.

2. From Knowing to Doing: Effective Safety Training

Target Audience: Managers, Supervisors, leads and anyone with responsibility for the safety of employees.

For years, the delivery of information has been the method of choice for inviting safe employee behaviors. Unfortunately it has become clear that there is a huge difference between what employees know and what they do with what they know. While information certainly has value, its impact is influenced not only by the quantity of content delivered, but also by HOW the content is developed, delivered, supported and received! In this session Michael introduces REP; The Rational, Emotional and Physical approach to effective training. This fun, high energy session takes a humorous look at training and offers insights and strategies for training that not only influence what participants know, but also what they do with what they know.

3. The Lighter Side of Sitting, Standing, Lifting and Stretching

Target Audience: Everyone

This high energy, fun and interactive session examines the myths and misconceptions surrounding “proper” body mechanics and offers practical and effective strategies to reduce claims and increase productivity. This fun, high energy and interactive presentation has been shared with hundreds of thousands of employees over the years to rave reviews and has been an integral part of the injury prevention programs of numerous Fortune 500 companies.
