Beyond The Plexiglass Shield: A Radical New Perspective on Bus Driver SafetyAddressing the disturbing increase in bus driver assaults across North America, the Tommy Transit Production Assault Avoidance Program provides simple and effective tools that any driver can implement easily to defuse tense situations and align others to be supportive allies. This interactive workshop is a god-send for those who work with the public and who face the challenges of getting through their shift with their personal safety intact and a smile still on their face. |
Bus Drivers on a Mission: Bringing Greater Purpose To Your JobNot your usual speaker, Tommy Transit inspires operators to be ambassadors for change. Following the shock of 9-11, Tom felt impelled to do something positive and bring some kindness into what looked like an increasingly terrifying world. He realized that his simple ‘Joe job’ of driving a bus offered him the ideal opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. Tom knows that inspired workers who bring passion to their job can transform both the workplace environment and the bottom line. |
Happy Drivers: On the Route to Better Customer ServiceTom brings energy, enthusiasm, knowledge and skill to his talks. His promise? That those who work with the public will feel more alive and reunited with an inner passion to make a difference in the world…through what they do every day. A key tool is Tommy’s Art of Acknowledge-Mint – how the use of a bit of verbal candy can leave a sweet taste with customers and create on-going positive interactions. |
Interactive ‘Sharinars’ for Bus DriversUsing a recipe of humour, wit and wisdom, Tom highlights some of the challenging situations that commonly arise during a shift. Through role-playing exercises and a series of interactive dialogues drivers discover new communication skills and easy to implement tools which can transform frustration and exhaustion – often a result of working with the public – into greater satisfaction, more energy and fulfilment both on the job and in daily life. Tom’s desire is to inspire others to become Bus Drivers on a Mission and Ambassadors for Change in their own cities and with everyone they meet. |
