"Paul, you were terrific!! You definitely have a gift of speaking to large groups such as ours, and were very motivating and extremely inspirational. Your keynote and message exceeded our expectations and brought a resurgence of energy to the 800+ attendees of our conference."
Bryan Roessler, Director, WI Safety Council
"Thank you for addressing Minnesota's Electric Co-ops last week. You mesmerized them on the absolute need to attend to safety. Your speech helped us a great deal as MREA too presents the same message repeatedly. You did us a great deal of good with your passion. Thank you."
Mark Glaess, General Manager, Minnesota Rural Electric Association
"It is refreshing to see a student of one of my seminars follow their dream
to be a keynote speaker. Paul's story will convince you that there is no such
thing as a harmless shortcut."
John Drebinger, CSP
"A Date to Remember is an excellent presentation for all
employees from production to management. Paul presents his
message in a tone that is recognizable by all. Each member
of the audience can imagine what this day was like, and how
something similar could happen nearly anywhere. Paul
encourages employees to speak up, to look out for one
another, and to make safety a value of their own. He also
suggests a simple activity that ensures coworkers are
looking out for each other. Investment in Paul as a speaker
is one you will be repaid over and over again."
Director of Safety and Health, ThyssenKrupp
"Paul Wouters' story and message of a tragic event
emphasizes the fact that safety is everyone's responsibility,
even if it is not specifically in your job description."
Steven Schaefer, Safety & Security Coordinator - Weston Power Plant, Wisconsin Public Service
"Safety. Choices. Life-altering events. We leave our
homes and families every day expecting everything to be the
same when we get home. Decisions are made by co-workers,
friends, and each one of us that will affect all of us for
the rest of our lives. Paul gives a riveting, heart-felt
presentation, A Date to Remember.
He shares an important message that we all need to hear.
We can’t become complacent with safety, or making the right
choices. It truly is a matter of life and death… Our
families and friends will live with the consequences of our
actions for the rest of their lives.
I heard Paul’s first presentation in April 2006 in
Wisconsin Dells at a state Health and Safety Conference. His
story needs to be shared; this message needs to be heard…."
LPN, ThyssenKrupp
"Paul Wouters combines a real life tragedy with an easy
understanding how you can make a difference when you see an
unsafe act or condition. Paul has been on the front lines
and has learned the hard way that safety counts."
John Shier RN, Ph.D.
"Thank you so much for an interesting presentation. You explained
safety to the group in a way that was not only understandable but also
interesting. As you could tell from the participation of the group,
they enjoyed the learning experience.."
Bonnie Klika, Coordinator, Encompass
"Unfortunately, violence in the workplace is too often a
reality today. Paul offers a unique and thoughtful
perspective on both experiencing and surviving a violent
event at work. Paul's words and advice will stay with you
long after the presentation - and help keep you safe."
Environmental Manager, Wisconsin Public Service
"Paul, Thanks again for addressing our ABC Carolina Chapter members. Despite the serious subject matter, it was refreshing to hear something different that everyone could identify with. Your message forces everyone in the room to re-evaluate how well they carry out their responsibilities and it motivates people to improve safety performance."
M. Douglas McKelvy, CSP, Safety Coordinator, Rodgers Builders, Inc.
