• Develop an Unstoppable Mindset: Success Strategies for Safety Teams and Supervisors

  With the alarming predominance of workplace accidents caused by human error, the importance for engaging teams and individuals with safety procedures in a way that is meaningful to them and can promote significant change is crucial. Scott Burrows details his unforgettable, life-changing story of turning a paralyzing setback into a powerful comeback that inspires teams to develop a true safety mindset. He 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.

• Diversity Matters: Inclusion Strategies for the Changing Workforce

  In today’s rapidly changing corporate environment, c-level executives understand diversity matters. Why? Today, the largest and fastest growing minority group around the world are people with disabilities, and studies have shown this workforce is committed, productive, loyal, and willing, when given the opportunity, to help your organization succeed. If you are looking to expand your market share, generate new revenue from this untapped market, and see things from a different corporate perspective, it will take a clear vision, the proper mindset, and the organizational grit to make it happen.

  The true measure of success is how well you respond to a changing and diverse marketplace, and adversity, professional setbacks, and fear. Whatever belief system you employ must be powerful enough to conquer these obstacles and any other impediments to your personal and professional growth, or you — and your organization — will be left behind.
