Thought-provoking!
The Safety Leadership Masterclass was really insightful. It’s not often you get to share a space with so many talented and experienced individuals, sharing their stories, learnings and ideas. Over the weeks I really got to see first-hand the challenges our profession faces, regardless of what industry you are in. It was humbling to see everyone working towards the same goal and coming together to support each other. The speakers were fantastic, they facilitated great conversation and asked thought-provoking questions. I enjoyed being able to watch the lectures in my own time and at my own pace, pausing to reflect and make notes, and completing the assignments along the way.

Unique teaching that draws upon proven leadership change models
The Safety Leadership Masterclass went above my expectations, and I achieved a lot more out of the course than I first thought. The course is very unique in the teaching of change leadership, from the online learning to the community online message board that really helps with your ideas and feedback shared with your peers. The course also teaches proven leadership change models to explore and expand your knowledge for leading effective change in complex teams. I would recommend future participants put in their motivation and energy to get the most from the learnings. You have to commit and use the learnings to add to your skill set as a Safety Professional Leader and you will see the change and results in your organisation.

Something for everyone
This course reflects the latest thinking in the H&S space, delivered in a well phased manner by engaging presenters. Supporting materials are useful and the opportunity to interact with others on the course in the live sessions will be of great value for many. I would recommend this course to H&S professionals at all stages of their careers – there’s something here for everyone.

Perfect blend of safety and business
The masterclass is exceptional. It’s much more professional and integrated than other courses out there. It isn’t just safety focused, but also business focused. So, you not only learn from a safety and strategy perspective, but also understand the business acumen piece and how important it is. If safety professionals miss that, they find they are highly unsatisfied and often work in organisations where safety feels painful. They struggle to influence and really help people. The way the masterclass is set out and brings in that business acumen is exceptional.

Pathway for culture change
The course material is really good and thought-provoking. It sets you up for the pathway for culture change, which is what it’s designed for, and the program has really hit the nail on the head with that.
