“This training engages the target audience and challenges attitudes and behaviours (hearts and minds). It is of particular benefit as the delivery method is specifically designed for kinaesthetic learners which resonates with our people.” – National Safety Director

“Reinforcing and growing an understanding of reporting in my team… shifted the culture from old school view of ‘ranking’ to a proactive approach of improving things. We need to make no blame ‘no blame’ – old school managers often don’t get it, train them” – Participant
