BUILD YOUR EPIC SAFETY CULTURE

Everyone wants to be on a mission to triumph together. The challenge with workplace safety is that zero incidence goals make failure avoidance the game plan. A worthy objective and logical approach, but not engaging or inspiring – like a sports team trying not to lose. The secret to the Steve Donahue’s Epic Story System® is its universal appeal. Blockbuster movies, professional sports and video games generate trillions of dollars by using this same narrative structure to engage fans and customers.

Using brain research, social science and business examples, Steve Donahue demonstrates how the 5 Key Components of the Epic Story® build buy-in to construct a safety culture aimed at greatness. As a bonus, you’ll also boost worker retention and improve employee mental health.

Here’s how Steve Donahue can customize this program:

THE BATTLES – Every epic story has two major battles. Learn how to pick the ones that will build the strongest safety culture in your company.

HEROES – Something goes wrong and the Hero saves the day – that’s an epic story. But in workplace safety, the goal is for nothing to to go wrong. Steve will identify the unique characteristics of a safety culture Hero and how to inspire their actions.

GUIDES – Heroes need someone to show them the way. In the epic story of
sports, the coach is the Guide. In Kung Fu Panda it’s Master Shifu. This pivotal role is essential for building your epic safety culture by developing three crucial qualities.

COMPANIONS – Luke Skywalker had R2-D2 and C-3PO. Quarterbacks have their offensive line. Epic stories need a supporting cast to go all in to achieve the Quest
without seeking the limelight. Learn how to motivate selfless contribution and constant commitment to health and safety goals by telling your own employee driven epic story.

SELL YOUR EPIC STORY

Audacious Influence in a Social Universe
