Mike Hourigan your Motivational Safety Speaker

Safety Speaker
As a motivational safety speaker, I know all-too-well that there are the “official way of doing things,” and the corner-cutting. Before I became a safety keynote speaker, and before I worked in management on sales teams, I was a worker in heavy manufacturing companies.

Most company parties are not all that memorable however, after giving a talk on safety...

Stress and Safety Speaker

Speaking to groups across the country as a stress and safety speaker, I realize that among the many effects of the COVID pandemic, was the amount of stress ratcheted up on workers in construction, manufacturing and transportation. The problem with stress is that it diverts awareness. That fact may not mean much in an accounting office or insurance agency, but to a person driving a forklift in a busy...

Don’t Take This Personally, Take This Very Personally My decision to work as a safety meeting speaker didn’t start because I was reading a book on safety one day.
