WOHSS is excited to be collaborating with Calgary Safety Connect on an upcoming full-day workshop focused on communication, leadership, and storytelling in safety.

🗓 June 11, 2026
Doors open at 8:00 AM | Session starts at 8:30 AM
📍715 5 Avenue SW, Calgary

Facilitated by Tyler Foley, author of The Power to Speak Naked

This workshop equips safety professionals with practical storytelling and speaking tools to strengthen influence, communicate risk more effectively, and lead with confidence in meetings, training, investigations, and toolbox talks. Participants learn why stories drive behaviour more effectively than data alone and how to transform real safety experiences into clear, compelling messages.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session, participants will:

- Understand how storytelling influences attention, memory, and behaviour in safety contexts.
- Identify and shape real workplace moments into effective safety stories.
- Develop one complete, ready‑to‑use safety story linked to a clear message and call to action.
- Build and deliver a concise 3–5 minute safety talk.
- Practice giving and receiving structured, constructive feedback.
- Leave with a personal action plan for integrating storytelling into daily safety leadership.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
