📍 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.

🔍 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.
