Target Leadership Founder tapped to headline internal corporate safety meetings nationwide

March 04,2013

If companies like ExxonMobil, John Deere, Chevron, & General Electric have one thing in common, it's that they all have engaged Jeff "Odie" Espenship to kick-off their internal safety meetings.

Companies like ExxonMobil, Heinz, John Deere, Chevron, Michelin Tire, General Electric, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), and a litany of others are no stranger to safety risks on the job. Best practices dictate internal safety coordination and communication meetings. Most of these meetings begin with motivational messages to kickstart the needed conversations. What better way to get a message of safety across than by engaging Jeff œOdie Espenship, top leadership safety speaker, author, and international airline pilot, to tell the tale of what it means to lose someone because of a lack of attention to safety procedures. These companies and others have Jeff dashing around the country all spring and summer to inspire their team members to always improve and make safety the top priority.

In addition to being a professional speaker, author and international airline pilot, Jeff œOdie Espenship is a Former USAF A-10 Fighter Pilot. Jeff's squadron mates gave him the call sign œOdie due to his outgoing, personable, always smiling, eager to please personality, aptly named after the popular cartoon Garfield's sidekick. Espenship's lively, friendly demeanor, and personal stories of triumph and loss in and out of the cockpit, makes him one of the most sought after leadership safety speakers for corporate mangers and employees around the nation.

Over 100 companies on the Fortune 500 have asked Jeff to help them change behaviors one keynote at a time by inspiring company employees in an emotional way to rethink "the way it's done around here" and to embrace "the way it should be done around here." For each company, Jeff presents customized versions of his popular keynote œBack to Basics in Safety Excellence to inspire company team members to rethink and refocus their work behavior. He speaks to them with unabashed vulnerability and comedic humor. Most importantly, Odie teaches what it means to be a Target Leader both on and off the job. œIt's the little things that can take an organization from cellar to the stellar - by setting high expectations, listening to what is NOT being said, and overcoming complacency, the silent killer, said Espenship.
