Testimonials
It stays with you. People remember it, that’s what makes the difference. […] Our staff often complain about boring slides. But after this training, I got phone calls of people saying that for the first time something really stuck with them.
This was a highly valuable training. I really liked that it was based on a case study, the movie ‘Between the lines’, so very hands-on. Really good balance between theory and practical exercises. Both trainers were also very competent, engaging and pleasant. I feel this training gave me the tools to be a better safety leader. I dared speak-up during the course in the presence of our director and other managers, and I feel that this has empowered me to carry on doing more so in the future.
It gave me awareness of my role as an administrator. Safety leadership is not just for operations it should be all over the company. It was an eye opener to me that this is important even though I am not operative.
The structure was dynamic, building up from the first clip to the last one with some theory in between in clips.
You think twice about safety problems you have had before and hopefully also think twice next time you have a problem. Good movie.
