To Whom it May Concern: I am writing to provide a professional reference for Lee Shelby. In my experience as the Health & Safety Manager at Nittany/Marcal Paper I have had the pleasure of working with many of the safety industry’s professional speakers. Lee Shelby ranks among the very best speakers that I have encountered. He was hired to speak to our employees at our site in Lewistown, Pa. He was able to make a connection with our employees and keep them engaged throughout his presentation. He not only delivers a powerful message through oral communication, but employees can see as he is speaking the physical consequences of workplace accidents. Mr. Shelby’s message on the consequences of workplace injuries has our employees thinking twice about how they perform tasks throughout their shift. They received a real-life testimonial of the consequences of taking shortcuts or the mind set of “just getting the job done”. He delivered an emotional journey of the day he was involved in a workplace incident and how it changed his life forever. During Mr. Shelby’s presentation I saw employees laugh, cry, and cringe. Employees were always fully attentive. He connects with the audience through compassion and understanding. The feedback from the employees was outstanding regarding Mr. Shelby’s presentation. We fielded many questions after his presentation. He was able to change the mindset of employees who think they will never be injured in a workplace accident. I could not have been more pleased with the message that was shared and how it was received by our employees. In sum, it is my pleasure to give Lee Shelby my highest recommendation as a keynote speaker or workplace safety speaker. He delivers valuable information that could prevent another person from being involved in a workplace accident.
