Football inspires millions of people around the world and connects them across generations and cultures. Emotion, excitement and team spirit create memorable experiences. Modern occupational safety should do the same. Because if you want to motivate people to work safely, you first have to engage them emotionally.
That is why we deliberately integrate keynote speakers into our occupational safety campaigns. They bring safety topics into the workplace from a variety of real-life perspectives, offer fresh insights and make complex issues tangible through their personal experiences. As role models, they foster identification and engage employees across all levels of the organisation.
However, not every speaker is the right fit for every topic. A keynote only becomes truly impactful when the connection is right. We carefully select speakers based on the focus topics and target audience, build the bridge between their professional experience and our clients' occupational safety challenges, and define the key messages of each presentation.
For example, FIFA referee Deniz Aytekin delivered a keynote for one of our clients on making decisions under pressure. Just like a referee on the football pitch, employees must assess risks correctly in critical situations and, if necessary, stop their work. His keynote also highlighted the importance of psychological safety, clear communication and mutual trust. After all, a strong safety culture can only develop where people feel comfortable speaking openly about uncertainties and mistakes.
Stunt performer Holger Schumacher also drew compelling parallels between his profession and occupational safety. His keynote focused on recognising and taking risks seriously, staying focused, relying on the team and learning from mistakes.
In this way, engaging personal stories are transformed into practical takeaways for everyday work. The keynotes encourage reflection, spark meaningful conversations and make occupational safety a memorable and lasting experience.
