Just after Christmas of 2004, a tangled web of hospital human errors almost killed Lester, a dear friend of Tim and his wife Suzette. For Tim, hearing the unfolding of the unbelievable series of events brought him to a defining moment. Up to this time, Tim had achieved tremendous success at minimizing human error, especially within the commercial nuclear power field. He knew there was a great need to expand these efforts. Mistakes were happening and they needed to stop. What happened to Lester helped push Tim over the edge. He is now a man on a mission.

“The insights you provide, coupled with your “genuineness” as a person, is a combination that is quite rare.”
-Brenda Jordan, Director, Training and Staff Development, University of North Carolina

Tim’s greatest gift is his ability to connect with his audiences. He simplifies this complex field with humor and keen insight, making it not only easily understandable…but fun. He identifies issues and nails them. His personal challenge to any organization? “Give me 30 minutes with your team and I can tell you your greatest cause of mistakes.”

“The insights that you provided to our Board and Medical Executive Committee at the retreat in March have further opened the door toward a true team spirit amongst the whole staff.”
-C. Mark Gregson, CEO- Mesa General Hospital

Tim’s official internship occurred with the United States Navy, where he spent more than a year of his life underwater aboard the USS Ohio (the first Trident nuclear submarine). This opportunity provided Tim with an incredible platform from which to study human behavior- what held people, what propelled people, and what prompted excellent (or not so excellent) behaviors.

For the past 24 years, Tim has been both a student and a pioneer of human performance enhancement and human error reduction. A few of his significant accomplishments have included:

	A key member of the management team that orchestrated the fastest plant performance turnaround ever achieved within the commercial nuclear power industry
	Designing and deploying a human error reduction campaign that resulted in an 800% reduction in human error within a 600-person organization in a single operating cycle!
	Author of a Human Performance Tools handbook that takes complex error reduction strategies and distills them into simple tools to be used by everyone. Tim’s handbook has been adapted worldwide by such companies as Entergy, Constellation Energy, Florida Power and Light, and General Electric.

Since 1995, Tim Autrey has put his expertise on human behavior and human error reduction to work within many of the world’s largest organizations. Some of these organizations have included:

	Motorola		ATL Ultrasound
	Burger King		Toys R Us
	Mariner Health		Columbia-HCA
	The American Red Cross		Cybermation
	Central Data		University of North Carolina
	Entergy		The Southern Company

"Your passion for the subject of Human Performance was evident in your presentation and your humorous presentation style ensured that all members of the audience would be reached!”
-Patrick M. Conley, Human Performance Manager, The Southern Company

It is with a passion to save lives, a personal mission to keep people from getting hurt, a penchant for preventing physical and environmental catastrophe, and an intense desire to help businesses everywhere eliminate the costs of unnecessary mistakes that Tim does what he does. It’s who he is. It’s why he exists.

	Together with his team, he has built a System that makes these revolutionary technologies available to everyone.
	The System is offered in layers to maximize the usefulness for every organization, regardless of size or industry.
	Tim loves to speak, and will bring his passion and conviction to any group who is ready to learn.
	Tim is the founder of the Practicing Perfection Institute, an organization destined to become the center of influence for human possibility worldwide.

“This was the best four hours ever spent for the future of this company!”
-Ron Wright, President, Wright Companies
