I was moved by Steve’s presentation at the Ohio Safety Congress
& Expo. Steve is a genuine person with a good heart. He really opened my eyes to the true course that we have
to set for ourselves and our associates. Basically he made me see the "big picture”. I thought Johnny Bench was
a good speaker, but his presentation did not move me the way Stephen Uzelac’s did. Steve motivated me. I just
needed a little shove to get right where I needed to be. He was most definitely
the best safety awareness motivator
I have ever heard speak.

“Over 65 Black Swamp Safety Council members attended Stephen
Uzelac’s, HEROES Put Safety First workshop. The overall quality of this workshop is excellent. Members said that
Steve was confident, easy to understand, fabulous, motivational, energetic, and passionate as he presented real
life safety information. They found his workshop to be well-organized and clearly understandable as he stayed
on task driving his message of everyday safety. Steve truly believes in what he speaks about.”

A main focus of our Continuing Education programs at Stark State
is in the area of professional development and licensure renewal. We used Stephen Uzelac’s workshops, on
HEROES
– Put Safety First. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Stephen was able to
relate to office personnel,
utility engineers and wastewater operators. That is a challenge that he met well!
I'm happy to endorse Stephen
Uzelac. This is what some had to say about Steve. “Mr. Uzelac was the most interesting and captivating speaker
I have ever heard… I went away with more in his class then any other…. Everyone should be required to attend
a Stephen Uzelac workshop…. Steve is not only a good teacher, but one of the best I have ever experienced…. This
should have been a much longer course. A wonderful seminar – I find myself wanting more. An excellent teacher,
I would recommend this seminar to anyone…. Mr. Uzelac did a great job. I learned a lot about myself and how to
relate with others and safety.

“Over 600 Northwest Ohio bus drivers and educational specialist
heard Steve Uzelac speak.” Steve used humor, common sense and great story telling to
keep a diverse group interested.
He is flexible and can alter his presentation to fit the needs of any organization. His profound message on safety
and life leaves his audience knowing that they do have some control over their own personal safety and the safety
of those around them. Steve is a professional.

“Thank you for the absolutely awesome and inspiring presentation
you delivered at the BWC Safety Congress. I enjoy how you spread the message of maintaining a healthy mind, body,
and soul with a positive attitude. Through all my years of management, it all boils down to attitude. As you
so eloquently put it, we can achieve anything with people, as long as there is the right attitude. When I returned
from the Safety Congress and was asked how it was, I repeatedly referred to your session; obviously it left quite
an impression. Charlie Morecraft was great, but you are smoother with your message of prevention.”

“When I walked into the filled room I began to think is this
going to be another uninteresting session. It was all but uninteresting. At times I had tears welling up in my
eyes. You are so right, when it comes to health and safety you do need to put yourself first. I know this first
hand from my husband. After explaining your message to him, his health has become a very important priority.
Again, thank you for a thought provoking presentation, with a profound message and a pleasant listening and learning
opportunity.”

Dept. of Utilities,
Woodville, Ohio,
Ohio Safety Congress & Expo
“I attended a Stephen Uzelac "Putting Safety First" presentation
at the Knox County Safety Council Awards Banquet. I was very motivated by his message. His information put safety
into a broader perspective and as a result it has
motivated me to suggest that some changes be made at our plant.
Thank you for sharing your powerful insights. Stephen is one of the best speakers I have ever heard.”

"Stephen Uzelac presented
one of the most influential workshops
we ever heard. Our members said he was motivating, moving, enthusiastic, awesome and inspiring. His knowledge
of the subject is profound and his information is relevant to safety and a way of living, thinking and being.
His attitude and compassion for others succeeding in life, work and pleasure touched our hearts. Everyone should
hear this person share his story and the stories of others. Stephen is one of the best and to many of our members
the best they have ever heard”

“The R.E. Burger Plant appreciates Stephen Uzelac for presenting
his dynamic safety awareness workshop to our employees. It is very important to send a consistent message regarding
safety and I have found it even more effective when employees hear the same message from different sources. Your
continued support of the safety program here at the Burger Plant (as well as other First Energy facilities) is
truly appreciated.”
James T. Hayden,
Associate Safety Representative,
R.E. Burger Plant
Along with our safety committee I attended the
Ohio Safety Congress
and Expo in Columbus, Ohio. We attended many sessions and listen to many speakers, and found
Stephen Uzelac's
presentation to be the best we ever heard. Stephen tells his personal story along with many examples of how people
take changes. His presentation is emotional, uplifting, educational and to many an eye opener. Everyone needs
to hear his "HEROES, Don't Play Russian Roulette with Safety.”
We invited Steve to speak to all of our employees
at Weyerhaeuser and many of our people have expressed their gratitude for having the opportunity to hear his
presentation... Most felt this was the best safety presentation their ever heard.
