ABOUT
Jason Kunz
HUSBAND | FATHER | SPEAKER
Jason Kunz, CIH, CSP, helps companies embrace change and achieve breakthrough EHS performance. He delivers keynotes, training, and workshops that couple original research and hands-on experience with compelling stories that move participants to action.
With more than a decade of experience working with the world’s top companies and EHS leaders, and presentations delivered for more than 20,000 people across 36 countries, he understands first-hand how to initiate change, inspire innovation, and deliver results.
THE SHIFT
Workplace safety regulators, safety professionals and business leaders often say they want to send people home from work in the same condition in which they came. While I believe this to be genuine, why would we ever settle for “same”? People should go home stronger, healthier, and more fulfilled as a result of showing up at our workplaces.
THE APPROACH
1) When it comes to understanding how work is done and where risk needs managing, the smartest people in the organization aren’t at the company HQ, they’re on the frontlines
2) We’re learning to ask “What failed?” not “Who failed?, then adding capacity to the "what"
3) We’re working hard to understand how work is ACTUALLY done vs. how we envision work being done
THE EXPERIENCE
With over a decade of experience with the 3M company in a variety of technical and leadership roles, Jason Kunz demonstrates his passion for the safety and health profession across multiple platforms. A forward-thinker, with the objective to elevate the safety, health and well-being of all workers, Jason uses his voice to amplify the profession and the professional. His life journey, blessings, and struggles have inspired a commitment to building professional communities that ensure an empowerment of their people.
Jason is a husband, co-founder of Best Christmas Ever speaker, coach, and community advocate. He's a CIH and CSP, but mostly grateful to have a J-O-B and work with some of the most passionate and compassionate people on the planet. Married since 2019, Jason and his wife Malia recently welcomed their first child and call Minneapolis-Saint Paul home.
His energy is contagious, his speaking inspiring, his mission, clear – to entertain, educate, and empower every audience he’s privileged to engage with. Doing so until every worker is well.
"The most powerful time to give thanks is when everyone else is complaining."
