His willingness to discuss these difficult topics resonates with audiences, making his message relevant to everyone — from directors to frontline workers. Since beginning his speaking career, Jason has delivered over 3,000 presentations worldwide, transforming his personal tragedy into a mission to promote safety and well-being in the workplace. He founded Proud2bSafe, an organisation dedicated to providing motivational speakers and resources to enhance safety culture. Recently, he has partnered with Professor Tim Marsh to establish Anker & Marsh Ltd, expanding their offerings to include training and consultancy services focused on behavioural safety and organisational culture. Tim and Jason regularly present together, offering a unique blend of personal experience and psychological insight that resonates deeply with audiences. Jason's latest work, Paralysis to Success - Bounding Back From Adversity, encapsulates his journey and insights. His commitment to making a difference is evident in every presentation, inspiring others to learn from his experiences and prioritise safety in their own lives.
