How to Create Sure-Fire Training Demonstrations

Why does safety training fail to stick? Too often, it’s because we try to jam content into trainees’ heads the wrong way! Stop fighting with their brains and instead use demonstration techniques that naturally capture attention, increase engagement, and enhance retention. In this interactive session, we will use real-world examples to learn a proven demonstration technique that gets great results by taking advantage of how our brains like to learn.

Mr. Todd Hudson, President, Maverick Safety Training, M.S. Engineering

Todd Hudson teaches safety professionals to be great trainers. As a former high-tech factory manager, he quickly discovered that training a 24/7, multi-national, multi-lingual, and multi-generational workforce to work safely while surrounded by hazardous chemicals and machinery was a huge challenge. Seeking a better way, he began applying the Lean methodology to training and knowledge transfer with spectacular results.

For more than twenty years, Todd has helped improve safety training (and measurably improve outcomes) at copper mines in Arizona, hospitals and laboratories in Tennessee, private schools in Oregon, and warehouses in Washington, to name just a few.

He is a frequent speaker and workshop leader at conferences, a guest on training podcasts, and a writer with articles in publications such as Chief Learning Officer Magazine, the New York Times, and The Portland Business Journal.

Registration Closes: Thursday, December 5th @ 5:00p.m.
