Create Safer, Stronger Workplaces from the Inside Out

OSPE — Occupational Safety & Productivity Excellence

Results you can expect

  • Fewer incidents and near-misses through improved attention and decision-making

  • Noticeable drops in conflict, rework, and presenteeism

  • Better morale, faster onboarding, and stronger retention

  • Measurable improvements in focus, stamina, and quality

    OSPE complements OSHA by addressing the internal state of the workforce. Where OSHA stops at external hazards, OSPE equips individuals to manage the mental, emotional, and psychosocial challenges that directly affect compliance and performance.

    Our workshops deliver practical tools that:

    • Reduce stress and burnout.

    • Build emotional resilience.

    • Strengthen attention, focus, and regulation.

    • Transform workplace culture into one of safety, trust, and connection.

Awareness

Skill: Noticing internal state + environmental signals early enough to act.
AWARENESS – Understand how biology drives behavior, and how small shifts create safer patterns.

Vitality

Skill: Building daily energy and clarity so safety and productivity feel natural.
VITALITY – Equip employees with skills to stay calm, focused, and effective under pressure.

Resilience

Skill: Recovering quickly and staying effective under stress.
RESILIENCE – Tackle the hidden risks of stress, conflict, and mental health

This is what’s missing in the workplace

Every workplace has two kinds of hazards: the external ones you can see, and the internal ones you feel—fatigue, depression, chronic stress, interpersonal friction, and disengagement.

OSPE reduces those internal risks and turns them into performance advantages: higher safety, higher productivity, lower conflict, and fewer illness-related absences.

Why OSPE Is Different

Most workplace programs address procedures and compliance. OSPE addresses the people at the heart of performance.

With over three decades as a licensed bodyworker and two decades as an educator across every age group, I bring a rare blend of expertise in:

  • Physical pain relief and ergonomics (licensed massage therapist, cranial sacral therapist)

  • Mental and emotional guidance (certified in CBT, NLP, neuropsychotherapy, mental health coaching)

  • Lifestyle architecture (author of Lifestyle Architecture: How to Build a Life of Purpose, Freedom, and Sustainable Happiness)

This means I don’t just deliver a curriculum — I mentor leaders, coach employees, and provide individual-level support when physical, lifestyle, or mental health challenges are impacting performance.

Governor's Safety and Health Conference

For the past three years, Shu has been a regular speaker at the Governor’s Safety and Health Conference, where his message of mindfulness and lifestyle architecture has consistently resonated with leaders and employees alike.

He emphasizes that true workplace safety is inseparable from the health and resilience of the workforce—a realization that inspired the creation of his OSPE (Occupational Safety and productivity Excellence) program, designed to reduce risks, boost productivity, and help people thrive.

PPE and protocols cannot prevent accidents caused by a distracted mind, a stressed nervous system, or unresolved conflict.
OSPE bridges the gap—giving workers the internal alignment to comply with OSHA’s external protections. Together, they create the safest, healthiest, and most productive workplaces possible.

The Hidden Gap in Workplace Safety

OSHA guidelines protect against external risks—hazardous conditions, equipment misuse, ergonomics. Yet OSHA leaves a critical gap: the internal hazards of stress, fatigue, conflict, and emotional overload.

  • Stress costs U.S. companies $300 billion annually in absenteeism, turnover, and healthcare.

  • Union Pacific Railroad cut workplace accidents by 79% with stress management training.

  • DuPont reduced injuries by 90% through safety-focused training.

These numbers prove what OSPE is built on: when people are equipped to regulate themselves, safety and productivity soar.
