“Curtis’s keynote presentation was excellent. He was extremely engaging and energetic. Mr.Weber received all 5 out of 5 ratings across the board from our craft. In terms of meeting our expectations, I can say he absolutely exceeded them. I highly recommend Curtis for keynotes or other motivational addresses which are intended to challenge yet inspire your workforce.
He did a masterful job at effectively communicating to our craft workers the importance of communication and having the courage to speak up when things are not right.
Once the presentation was complete he spent the rest of his time with us out in the field with the workers, this initiative allowed the workers to open up to Curtis on a whole new level and left a lasting impression with anyone who had the pleasure to speak to him.”

“I have recently had the pleasure of getting to know Curtis on both a personal and professional level. We had Curtis join us at Barrick Hemlo as a keynote speaker for an annual appreciation function and to present to some of our employees on site as time permitted. The presentations were not only inspirational and amazing but left every person in attendance with a much better appreciation for both workplace safety and life. The message Curtis brings is one that will leave every person in attendance with a new outlook on risk management and hazard recognition from a new perspective. The feedback from employees has been very positive and every employee who had the pleasure of hearing Curtis speak has commented on how they were affected by the presentation. The only regret is that we didn’t have Curtis on site long enough due to scheduling however we want every employee on site to have the same opportunity as we did to witness this man share his powerful story and to have their lives impacted as we did. A wonderful, respectful, and admirable man of integrity who can deliver a lesson to every person, one of passion for workplace safety, accountability, survival and the joys of family and life. We are so looking forward to having Curtis back again in the future to meet with every one of our employees. We received much more than we bargained for and all expectations were far exceeded.”

“Curtis Weber is a dynamic public speaker who delivers a very personable message on the need to have “safety as a core value”. His impact to our operation at McArthur River Mine, Cameco was long and sustaining, and people still talk about it today. In fact he went onto enage our sister operation Key Lake and had the same positve sustaining impact on our people. Curtis is highly skilled and knowledgeable and is able to have people stop and think how incidents and accidents affect all of us. This young man will offer you an opportunity to challenge the way people think about safety values, culture, and the need for positve communication .His ability to talk about “recognizing hazards” is not enough. if you don’t put a control in place as described by his own incident. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if you would like additional information.”
“As like everyone else who has had the pleasure to meet Curtis I can truthfully say he is an energetic young man with a great sense of humor and a passion for safety.
Curtis was invited to our workplace as a keynote speaker at safety days.
His personal experience captivated the audience; Curtis talks about the luckiest day of his life. He shares from the heart, and is extremely truthful with the answers he gives to any questions asked.
People are still talking about the impact he made, not only at work but at home as well. I would fully recommend Curtis to any organization, he has a powerful message to share and it’s a message that will not be forgot by anyone.
On behalf of everyone at McClean Lake Operation, Areva Resources Canada Inc. thank you Curtis and all the best for the future.”

“I have had the pleasure of meeting Curtis and hearing Curtis speak about his incident. His story as he tells it is compelling and from the heart, he wants to ensure that no one has to endure the unfortunate incident that changed his life. He tells the story with a passion for ensuring that everyone that is listening hears his message. Curtis’s message would be a valuable additional to any safety conference or focussed safety forums/workshops for employers.”
