Have you ever noticed yourself, or someone else, “cutting corners”? That’s when part of a process is removed while attempting to achieve the original result. Usually, it’s done to save time, effort or money, but often it sacrifices quality or safety. To save time, Duane Janiskevich used the wrong tool and used it incorrectly – placing him on the receiving end of a table saw kickback. The results were devastating. In this session, he shares his emotional journey to healing and prevention. Although the topic is serious, it’s delivered with humor and provides a reflection of the risks people willingly take when they decide to cut corners.
