Why Speaking Up Matters

Positive workplaces grow strong teams that perform better and protect one another. Yet morale slips when safety feels like a dry rulebook. A seasoned speaker bridges that gap with heart, humor, and hard-earned truth. Ricky nearly lost his life on 30 December 1995 after a head injury on the job. His wake-up call soon became a mission: share what really happens when we ignore risk.

Stories That Hit Home

Ricky never reads slides. Instead, he paints pictures with words: the clang of steel, the hush of a hospital room, the relief of seeing a family walk in. Then he flips the script, retelling each scene as a dad, husband, brother, buddy, and supervisor. Five angles, one takeaway, our choices ripple through every circle we love.

Bullet points that grab teens’ attention:

●        Simple language, zero jargon

●        Real names and places, they sound like us

●        A punchy mix of laughter and “wow” moments

Happiness Grows From Safety

First comes trust: workers must believe leaders care about their lives beyond the punch clock. When a survivor like Ricky says, “I wish I had paused for two seconds,” ears perk up. Next comes attitude: feeling valued lifts mood and cuts corner-cutting. At the end of a session, teams often swap stories of their own near misses, turning silence into support.

Interactive Talks Create Real Action

Ricky roams the aisle, high-fives volunteers, and lets jokes fly. He invites workers to finish sentences and share fix-it ideas on the spot. This back-and-forth locks in memory far better than a solo lecture. Folks leave with a clear picture of what “looking out for the new guy” should look like tomorrow morning.

Quick Tips to Prep Your Crew

●     Pick the right slot. Mid-shift breaks beat sleepy early mornings.

●     Set the vibe. Play upbeat tunes as people walk in.

●    Ask for input early. Let employees email Ricky one safety question each, he might use it on stage.

●     Follow up. Schedule a toolbox talk one week later so lessons stick.
