Jeff “Odie” Espenship, to Headline with Keynote at Texas Safety Conference in Galveston in April

Jan. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Speaker and Target Leadership President, Author, and Retired USAF A-10 Fighter Pilot, Jeff “Odie” Espenship, is presenting the keynote speech at this year’s NSC Texas Safety Conference & Expo in Galveston, Texas on April 8, 2013. Espenship has offered workshops at this conference for two consecutive years, but due to high participant ratings, was invited to present this year’s keynote speech.
Espenship will present his popular keynote “Getting Back to Basics is Vital to Superior Performance — It’s the Little Things that Matter” with hopes to motivate audience members to rethink and refocus their work behavior. He relates to audience members with personal stories of triumph and loss in and out of the cockpit; you will laugh and cry. Most importantly, Odie teaches what it means to be a Target Leader both on and off the job.  “It’s the little things that can take an organization from the cellar to the stellar - by setting high expectations, listening to what is NOT being said, and overcoming complacency, the silent killer,” said Espenship. The conference this year is centered around a theme of Leading the Pursuit for Safety and Health. His keynote is particularly relevant to this year’s conference, when professionals have limited resources to learn best practices and trends in safety.
