Fireproof Leadership:
5 Fires for Safer Workplaces
Every day on site, leaders and teams face distractions that can compromise safety. These distractions come from every aspect of life, not only the worksite!
The Fireproof Leadership keynote introduces the UnSPOKEN FIRE reset—helping crews quickly check in on Focus, Health, Family, Work, and Team before stepping onto the job.
One missed assignment on the field can cost a game. On a job site, it can cost a life.
Preparation is mental, emotional, and built on trust. Teams are strongest when we look out for one another, keep distractions off the job, and help each other recover from situations and times where distractions are simply a part of life.
“GET OUT OF THE TRUCK”
Leadership starts before the work begins.
Getting out of the truck means stepping into awareness, connection, and responsibility:
-
Check in with your people, not just the task
-
Notice what may be affecting focus or readiness
-
Lead with presence, not assumption
-
Reinforce that safety is personal, not procedural
When leaders get out of the truck both literally and figuratively, people feel supported, seen, and mentally ready to work safely.
This is where leadership and mental health intersect with the safety of your people.
THE TAKEAWAY
The UnSPOKEN FIRE reset keeps what matters most front and center: everyone going home safe.
The keynote ends with a clear call to action:
-
Step off the sidelines.
-
Get out of the truck.
-
Own safety together.
