About Glen Stevens
I help Rural Electric Cooperatives wire their brains for safer work.
As The Mental Fitness Guy™, I equip REC leaders and crews with brain-based tools to build focus, resilience, and safer habits on the job.
Through my Safety Mindset Training™, workshops, and daily 2-minute audio coaching, I help lineworkers shift safety from checklists to mindset — tackling the real drivers of accidents: distraction, rushing, frustration, and fatigue.
