"...Even our most senior and experienced experts were impressed! One said, “I really appreciate how Jake's approach is very different from other HOP experts." Jake gave us lots of real-world examples and specific words and phrases that we can apply immediately. Not just more theory.” Several attendees told me that they've already begun applying these practical skills to improve safety and human reliability in our field teams around the world.

FAQs
Q: Is delivery on-site or virtual?
A: Whichever works best for your needs.
Q: Can you customize a workshop to fit our unique needs?
A: Yes, if you have specific questions or goals, let's discuss them long before our workshop. I'll customize the workshop content and flow to ensure we address them in detail.
Q: How many people can participate?
A: Small groups (less than 30 people on-site, or less than 20 virtually) create much better interaction, discussion and hands-on application. But if needed, we can easily handle larger groups.
Q: Do you offer a guarantee?
A: Yes. If you're ever less than satisfied with any of the workshops, just email me the details within 3 days. If I can't fix it to your satisfaction, you pay nothing. (In 8+ years of business, no one has ever needed this option).
Q: OK! How do we get started?
A: Click here to schedule a no-pressure discovery call with me. We'll discuss your needs, goals, team, budget and other details. When you're ready, we can schedule a brief "Pilot Workshop" for 12-24 of your most trusted decision-makers and experts. After that Pilot Workshop, you and your decision-makers will know if this is right for your team.
“Jake has a way of translating human performance concepts into applications that are thoughtful, aligned with science, and connect with workers."

A Safer & More Reliable Work Culture
Practical Skills
Your people are busy. So, I summarize hundreds of pages of research saving you years of time. Your people get practical content they can apply immediately.
Expert Guidance
Learning new ideas is easy. Putting them into practice is hard. And a few minutes of Q&A is never enough. So, in a series of brief coaching discussions, your people get feedback & guidance to maximize impact on work.
Sustainable Change
One-and-done trainings are a sprint. Improving culture is a marathon. We spread our workshops out over weeks or months. Why? So your people get reinforcement on core ideas, and enough "soak time" to experiment, adjust, iterate, and sustain momentum that drives real world change.
“The kind of long-term, deep mentoring that Jake does compounds over time and generates far more valuable results than any class or presentation by itself.”
~ Robert J. Latino, Principal al Prelical, LLC
Respect & Expertise
I respect how errors in high-hazard workplaces can instantly change careers, reputations, and lives.
I've served on reliability-driven teams as a firefighter, an EMT, a military paratrooper, and as the Human Performance Lead for 3,600 experts in a large electric utility.
I've felt frustrated, perplexed, even angry at errors that seem 100% preventable... in hindsight. And I've made plenty of errors myself.
So, over the past decade, I've assembled a set of practical strategies, skills and models that I wish someone had shared with me years ago.
I love sharing these ideas with leaders and technical experts in high-hazard industries so everyone can be safer, more reliable and more engaged in the work they do everyday.

"We invited Dr. Mazulewicz to guide and facilitate a workshop among our hiring managers…
His facilitation process pulled the best information and ideas from our mixed-discipline group.
We look forward to working with him on our next complex problem."
