Virtual Event Testimonial

“Outside of the usual ‘great presentation’ and ‘I enjoyed that a lot’ type of comments, there were also quite a number of ‘never thought of it that way’ (and its variances) but, far and away, the most noted comment was that people wished that we had given you more time. And, to be frank, so do I. Your style, demeanour and delivery were a spot-on fit for the people we had in attendance. And based on the amount of engagement you got via screen time, I can only imagine what it would have been like in person. Again, thank you for an engaging, thought provoking talk and providing it with the level of enthusiasm you did.”  

Mark Rhebergen Safety Coordinator NCSO, BSc Maple Reinders Groiup Ltd.

keynotes​

“I believe your audience already has within them the wisdom and creativity to confront even the most difficult challenges; that the answers they need are available to them; just waiting for someone to unlock them. The ultimate purpose of my keynotes is to set a stage with engaging, funny and thought-provoking stories and audience engagement aimed at sharing knowledge and tapping into our collective intelligence.”

~ Allan James Moore

“We are stronger together than we are alone” – Walter Payton

Based on the assumption that people already have the wisdom & creativity to confront the most difficult of challenges, these presentations are designed as an interactive keynote presentation where audiences are entertained and engaged with thought-provoking stories from Allan that set the context for them to share their opinions making them the co-authors of the event.


How to Tame your Elephant!

Safety Lessons From Stampeding Elephants

Planning ahead can only go so far and if your team thinks they’ll respond “perfectly” in the face of real danger, Allan James Moore has stories that come all the way from Africa that might surprise you. How we react in the face of risk can say a lot about our confidence in safety know-how, as well as our trust in those we work alongside.

Capitalizing on his background in standup comedy to give an interactive, on-the-edge-of-your-seat session, Allan will provide tools and insights that will help you and your team know how (and when!) to confidently speak up when things on the jobsite don’t feel right. If jobsite safety feels a little wild to your team, this session is one you can’t miss! 

What your audience will take away from this keynote presentation:

  • Build trust and compassion in your team by forming a “Safety Alliance”
  • Develop a greater grasp on the 3 fundamental rights of worker safety
  • Right to know about hazards, right to participate in assessing and controlling hazards and right to refuse unsafe work
  • Gain valuable insights into the importance of situational safety awareness
  • Master the courage to stand your ground on safety and speak freely against the “mock charge” of perceived peer humiliation 
  • Create (foster, cultivate, encourage) a culture of psychological safety so people feel comfortable speaking up when it really matters 

*Note #1: that this keynote presentation is adaptable to a leadership event as well as it utilizes some of the core tenets of leadership.

Constructing Communication

How Jobsite Relationships Bond Safety and Respect

Trying to hammer home the core tenets of safety regulation to a team whose biggest concern is getting a job done fast could grind any level of respect for safety to a halt. Although handing out commands and work citations may feel like the only way to communicate the importance of safety, the impact is more like throwing a stick of dynamite down a mining shaft.

Proven data shows that strong communication skills are a top asset any safety leader can possess. This is why a well-oiled approach to working relationships and conflict resolution is the bedrock on which all thriving organizations are built. In this session, Allan will guide safety leaders and their teams through interpersonal skills that will build the foundation of mutual respect. If you want to encourage your coworkers to seek out the right answers when your guidance is needed most, this session is for you!

  • Master the skills of contemporary communication experts.
  • Understand the ways avoidant workers weaponize safety communication.
  • Learn the ABCs of conflict de-escalation and anticipation triggers.
  • Create community through empathy, understanding, and active listening in order to facilitate outcomes that matter most.

*Note: that this keynote presentation is adaptable to a communication event as well as it utilizes some of the core tenets of leadership.


HOP – Safety’s Next Top Model

Human and Organizational Performance

Nobody loves dealing with the aftermath of a safety incident. For safety leaders, it may feel like everybody’s too busy pointing fingers and laying blame instead of focusing on the bigger picture: the finer details of how the accident happened in the first place, instead of who caused it.

Human Organizational Performance is the skill of perspective. In a high-speed chase to get to the truth, important details are often lost or disregarded completely for the sake of fast solutions and recovered losses, leaving many workers spinning out before they even know they’ve lost a tire (or the confidence of their team).

In this session, Allan James Moore will provide the keys to post-incident learning, helping not just safety leaders — but whole teams — reframe unconscious and biased perspective traps in order to become a High Reliability Organization!

  • Flip the switch (change the fuse) on workplace accountability through empathy and curiosity
  • Develop the skills and curiosity to see safety mishaps for what they are, not for who should take the blame
  • Learn how to prepare your team for the worst, so they can handle any situation to their best
  • Cultivate confidence in your pragmatic approaches to uncomfortable conversations

We will never forget that speech, and the inspiration and passion it conveyed to “have each other’s back”.  The speech and presentation were very well done, and it put the entire group at ease to a point that each participant freely conveyed thoughts and feelings, and actively participated in the following two hours of round table and socratic circle discussions.  This was a wonderful and memorable time for the Lethbridge office.

Allan is a humorous, passionate, motivating, and gifted speaker.  In a new company culture where Wood is actively and deliberately putting their people together with health & safety first, this presentation and workshop were simply top-notch, and I would recommend this for any office…”
