🗣️ When Quiet Gets Loud: Cracking the Code of the Unspoken

📍 QMIHSC 2025 Sunday workshop

In high-pressure environments or in everyday life, what’s left unsaid can be just as critical as what’s spoken.

Join us for this insightful and interactive workshop designed to help you understand the subtle signals that shape communication, decision-making and safety outcomes, both at work and in life.

🔍 Learn to:
✔️ Recognise and interpret unspoken cues
✔️ Communicate more effectively in safety-critical situations
✔️ Foster a learning culture during investigations and reviews
✔️ Approach difficult conversations with greater confidence
✔️ Strengthen relationships at all levels—from the frontline to leadership

Whether you're a frontline worker, supervisor or senior leader, this session will equip you with practical tools grounded in human factors and behavioural science.

Let’s unlock the unspoken and elevate communication, collaboration and performance.
