Workplace safety is something we all know is important, but how often do we push it to the back of our minds? Thinking, “That won’t happen to me,” can be a trap. Drawing from personal tales of accidents that changed lives forever, this presentation seeks to shine a light on the real impact of overlooking safety measures.

This isn’t just about sharing cautionary tales; it’s about making a positive change to encourage every worker to think differently. Its about deepening employees buy-in to value workplace safety and instilling behaviors where that shift attitudes to, “I’ll ensure it doesn’t happen to anyone,” and ensures that outcomes.
Employees will leave invigorated with a mindset shift to recalibrate and reignite the conversation with their teams to focus on the daily standards that ensure workplace safety.

What does the word “Hero” mean to you? Do you think you need to reach an Olympic podium to become a hero? Or have you considered what that might look like in how you show up every day for yourself, your employees, for the clients, and communities that you serve?
In this session, Kevin Rempel shares his story of becoming paralyzed in a motocross accident to reaching the Paralympic podium in sledge hockey, and how you can learn from the mental health journey that accompanied his new life living with a disability.
Small things make a big difference, and it’s in the moments when you are away from a podium that matter the most. Understanding how you speak to yourself, to others, and the story you believe about your situation are just a few examples of how senior managers can begin to cultivate a confident and empowered mindset to support employee wellbeing.
The Hero Mindset will challenge you to think differently in how you approach mental health, how you support others, and what strategies you can put in place to help promote a healthy organizational culture.

Many organizations are early into their journey incorporating a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) practice into their workplace policies. As a result, they are often unsure, uneasy about what to do next and seeking additional guidance while taking baby steps to create empathy, understanding, and self-awareness to become better leaders, colleagues, and a stronger, more inclusive organization.
In this session, Kevin shares his experience of over 16 years living with an incomplete spinal cord injury, an invisible disability, and how that experience has taught him to be more empathetic towards himself and others as he leads others in his life and business.
Participants can expect to dive deep into their own self-awareness to better understand what unconscious biases may exist, what real or perceived hidden disabilities may exist for them and others, as well as reflect upon what it means to be a more inclusive leader and team member as you create a workplace culture that encourages courage and curiosity to bring your best self to work every day.
Throughout the interactive workshop, participants will take part and engage in anonymous discussion to help bring awareness to what common struggles they face, take part in breakout room discussions to create connection, and share in a safe environment that fosters empathy and understanding of each other.
Target Audience:
This program is ideal for leaders and organizations who are looking to continue the advancement of their DE&I initiatives by sharing practical, real, and vulnerable stories and examples that bridge connection and bring empathy and understanding to all employees in a safe and shared space.
Employees today are experiencing burnout and unprecedented levels. Learning how to set and maintain personal boundaries is still a skill for many to develop that can leave managers and supervisors struggling to understand why people have a hard time saying “no”, while running the risk of losing team members and employees who simply do not have the tools or strategies in place to take control.
In this program, Kevin helps participants identify where poor time management skills can be hindering self-care practices, what psychological barriers can be avoided to help initiate open conversations amongst managers and supervisors, as well as what to do to help further avoid, and if necessary, recover from burnout.
Participants will take part in highly interactive brainstorming sessions, identifying problematic areas, working together to create solutions, all while helping organizations gain further insights to understand where their employees are struggling and need help the most, and discover tools to manage these aspects proactively.
Target Audience:
This program is ideal for leaders and people managers who support high performing teams who are at risk of burnout, teams facing increased workloads due to organizational restructuring, rapidly changing demands of remote work, and organizations who are seeking a deeper understanding of employee’s needs to help support wellness initiatives.
