Communication & Safety - Half Day Workshop

September 11, 2025 7:30 AM - 12:30 PM (CDT)

Description

Boost Safety Through Better Communication H&S Forum
Join us for a high-energy, 3-hour workshop built for construction leaders and safety pros who want to level up their active listening and negotiation skills. This isn’t a lecture—it’s an interactive, game-ified training where you’ll work in small teams, tackle timed challenges, and create your own job aids rooted in real-world construction safety and leadership experience.

You’ll learn proven frameworks for emotional communication, active listening, and trust-building that drive engagement, improve hazard communication, and inspire compliance in safety programs. Walk away with practical tools, a copy of Life or Death Listening by Dan, and the confidence to handle tough conversations with clarity and collaboration. Pre- and post-course videos ensure the learning sticks long after you leave.

Topics include:

How humans decide (and how to influence them)

Emotional communication strategies for safety messaging

Empathy, trust, and active listening techniques

Why “No” can be the start of collaboration

Clarity tools for navigating risky environments

Be ready to participate—because in this workshop, you’re the star.
