Professional Speaking

"Top management in our company spent an entire day with Shawn as he made a comprehensive, detailed, thoroughly understandable and enjoyable presentation of Behaviour Based Safety, and how it would be implemented and applied to our company (6,000 employees). One of the best prepared and most powerful presentations I've ever seen. Highly recommended."

"Somewhere in a dictionary under the definition of effective is a picture of Shawn Galloway with the following attributes listed:

• Constantly seeking knowledge
• Able to transfer new information to action
• A highly effective communicator
• A human being with a drive to empower his fellow man
• Most importantly someone that you can trust and depend on

If you want to learn how to be a professional seek out Shawn as a mentor."

"I've been working with Shawn and ProAct since 2006. Shawn is a consummate professional and a very dynamic speaker. My personal interests in Behavioral Based Safety have been reinforced tremendously by his teachings (conferences, webinars, articles, podcasts, and power lunches). Best of all, Shawn is honest, sincere, caring and goes out of his way to help you out. I look forward to working with him more in the future."

"The ProAct Safety team nailed the essence of the issues facing successful managers on the safety front and has given them tools to become great leaders."

"Shawn Galloway has contributed numerous articles to my publication, EHS Today, which serves professionals in the safety, occupational health, industrial hygiene and environmental management arenas. Shawn's knowledge of and ability to communicate the value of safety culture excellence and risk management is impressive and his articles are some of the best-read in our magazine and Web site. In addition, ProAct Safety Inc. is an acknowledged provider of safety excellence strategies."

"Shawn has been a great contributor for Canadian Occupational Safety, as a regular columnist and host of our monthly video series, Culture Shock with Shawn Galloway. Shawn is a very engaging motivational speaker. His vast expertise in safety leadership and safety culture excellence is evident from the way he talks and interacts with people, and the audience's reaction to his talks and his articles. Any organization would be lucky to have Shawn as a speaker and/or trainer. I always look forward to hearing him speak at conferences."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Shawn Galloway and ProAct Safety for the last few years and each and every time the National Safety Council and our members have been extremely pleased. All of your sessions have all been with high energy, humorous and gave everyone some very practical advice and was truly an enjoyable experience. You have provided excellent value-added training to our members and your unique insight gave us a refreshing perspective on effective communication techniques in today's safety environment. I cannot thank you enough for the support."

"Amazing!! Delivery was spot on. He is "Zig Ziglar Jr.". Will do great things for any company looking to improve."

"Terry Mathis excels when it comes to teaching a practical, commonsense approach to Behavior-Based Safety. He relates well to everyone, from people on the floor to those in the highest levels of the company. His extensive experience "in the trenches" means you get level-headed, hard-hitting advice on everything from calculating the true costs of Behavior-Based Safety to handling various implementation and improvement challenges. If you're thinking about attending this seminar, I have two words for you: Do it."

"Shawn and ProAct Safety implemented Lean BBS at one of our manufacturing facilities as a pilot implementation and we followed up by having them train our EHS staff to be internal consultants and implement ProAct's program corporate wide. Shawn and the ProAct team do an excellent job of implementing BBS. They've remained our partners for 6 to 7 years and are always available when we need assistance or an opinion. Shawn is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent speaker/presenter. Any chance I get to hear Shawn speak always leaves me inspired and with renewed energy for safety and behavior based safety."

"Shawn is a high energy & talented professional. Thorough understanding of his business as well as the underlying principles & strategies for success. Highly recommend."

"Excellent; more session by your company."

"Great job! He exposed 'the true cost of accident'."

"Good speaking voice; inflections; easy to stay attentive; Lots of data for hour class."

"I am writing to express our sincere appreciation for being part of our annual ASSE Suncoast Chapter Professional Development Conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Your keynote address "Building and Sustaining a Safety Culture" was well received and it kept all that attended glued to your every word, and they all seem to agree that it was one of the best ever! Receiving a standing ovation from this seasoned group of safety professionals is quite a compliment.

Your presentation supported our conference theme centered on Behavior-Based Safety and was engaging, entertaining, motivational and balanced with good substance for take-away utilization. Your dynamic delivery kept everyone alert, and involved. Again, thank you for your participation and energy in making the day a big success. You definitely exceeded our expectations! We look forward to working with you in the future."

Best speaker so far! Great job Shawn! Relevant to any & all SHE professionals."

"Knows his message very, very well. High high value - excellent topic."

"Best speaker to date of conference. Great topic and presentation, do not grade excellent on all aspects but Shawn is a exception."

"Very well done. He kept the audience's interest. Good use of quotes. Great slides."

"If you want to engage and energize your employees Shawn is the guy to hire. He recently spoke to our group of HSES professionals and many people have told me how much they enjoyed his presentations. For those of you in the safety field Shawn "Gets It" and can communicate "It" to a broad audience. I knew when I looked over and saw the site manager (~7,000 employees onsite) taking notes we had the right speaker!"

"Very clear message & useful!"

"Good ideas on new ways to measure safety successes."

"Very good presentation. Great information. Though provoking..."

"Excellent speaker, well organized presentation. Powerful, useful and right on target with approach. Useful references to books, online materials, podcasts, etc. Great energy! Thank you!!"

"Terry Mathis was helpful. This is a good value for ASSE members. I would recommend this course as it has some pro-active, leading indicator ideas which are sorely needed."

"Outstanding instructor who utilized real world data and examples."

"Thank you for leading today's Congress 2.0 Webinar: 'Create a Sustainable Safety Culture.' The program was outstanding, providing our attendees with a great deal of actionable and thought-provoking content. In fact, we've already received several positive comments from attendees, who have praised the quality of the presentation. I, along with my NSC colleagues, greatly appreciate the time and energy you devoted to this presentation-and we look forward to collaborating with you on future NSC training programs."

"Thank YOU for your time and effort. Very solid content and delivery, enjoyed by all!"

"I have heard a lot of speakers in my time but Mr. Terry has been one of the best. I was very impressed! I feel like Mr. Terry has given us a game plan or strategies to make us all better on coaching our guys to want to work safely."

"We were privileged to have Shawn speak for us at the 2011 EHS Conference sponsored by the ACIT. While competing for attendance against simultaneous presentations, Shawn's session was heavily attended... and they were not disappointed. Shawn is an engaging speaker who is passionate and knowledgeable. He inspires and challenges his audience to approach safety with a fresh perspective. We hope he joins us in future years!"

"I was very impressed with the content and the presenter. Thanks Shawn!"

"I thought your presentations were excellent out of all the classes I took last week I got the most out of yours!"

"I attended your class Leadership Safety Coaching, I really enjoyed the class… I have already started using your thoughts on positive thinking, both professional and personal life and it has already made a difference!"

"I thought your presentation was very good and it was good to think that you can help to engage people to do your job even when you aren't there. It seems obvious, but I hadn't thought of it in that way."

"Congratulations, you made quite the impression at the Summit with your two presentations. It was time well spent, professional and most informative."
