When safety and production collide, many leaders reach for the fastest way to relieve the pressure. In this myosh Academy episode, host Kristina Shields is joined by Kym Bancroft and Dr Tristan Casey of New View Safety to unpack paradoxical safety leadership, a decision-making mindset built on research Tristan helped lead. You will hear the live poll results from our audience (69% said their organisation handles competing safety priorities inconsistently or reactively), why the old “safety first” mantra can backfire, and the difference between a quick fix that brings the tension straight…
‘Just copy the controls from the last one.’ If that's how your risk assessments go, you're colouring in, not controlling. In this episode, Mark Alston of Investigations Differently explains why so many risk assessments reduce no risk at all. Mark shares five practical shifts: understanding that risk is the effect of uncertainty (what you don't know), involving the people who do the work, assessing credible scenarios, being honest about control effectiveness, and ditching the tool-worship. He also explains why a risk assessment done after the decision is really just a permission slip, and why…
A completed checklist doesn't tell you whether risk is actually being managed. In this episode, former WorkSafe Queensland regulator Kym Bancroft and organisational psychologist Dr Tristan Casey unpack why compliance activity and compliance effectiveness are two very different things, backed by a live poll where 96% of the audience admitted their own compliance culture is mostly a paperwork exercise. You'll hear their framework for surface, deep and adaptive compliance, a real case study of redesigning a burdensome risk assessment process through frontline worker consultation, and practical…
Psychological injury claims are the fastest-growing category of workers’ compensation claim in Australia, and regulators are proving, case by case, that a policy sitting on paper isn’t enough to meet the legal duty. In this episode, Skodel’s Ian Fagan and Sam McKenzie, a former WorkSafe Victoria Lead Counsel, join myosh’s Kristina Shields to unpack what a psychosocial hazard actually is, why an Employee Assistance Program sits low on the hierarchy of controls (it mitigates harm after the fact, it doesn’t prevent it), and Skodel’s practical two-question method for assessing exposure and…
You can do everything right in an investigation and still change nothing, if the recommendations are weak. In the finale of the Investigation Series, Mark Alston tackles the most neglected part of the whole process: turning findings into action. We talk through the ‘holy trinity’ of useless actions, why a finding must name the risk to be a finding, goal-based recommendations, the hierarchy of control as a process, and how the value of a statistical life reframes the ‘too expensive’ conversation. Who should listen Safety managers, investigators and leaders who write or sign off investigation…
‘Human error’ might be the most expensive phrase in safety, because it ends the conversation exactly where it should begin. In this episode, Mark Alston explains why investigations so often treat symptoms and miss the system underneath. We talk through ‘work as normal’, why superficial findings only fix one worker or one machine, and a practical method for reaching systemic risk, including why you should interview leadership for a near-miss, and why the analysis timeline doesn't belong in the report. Who should listen Safety managers, investigators and operations leaders who want their…
The big lessons come from the big events, right? Not according to Mark Alston. In this episode he argues the minor incidents we barely look at are our richest source of learning, if we stop tick-boxing them. Mark shares the story of an incident that happened twice at the same mine, explains why 'failure to follow procedure' is a symptom rather than a cause, and walks through Event Insights: seven conversational questions that shift investigation from who failed to what failed. Who should listen Safety managers, investigators, supervisors and operations leaders who want more from everyday…
Same mining site. Same electricity. Roughly three-and-a-half times the emissions, depending on which grid you're on. National averages hide it. Audit-grade reporting under ISSA 5000 won't. In this episode, Edna Goh from eco-shaper joins the myosh Academy for the practical, operational session in our three-part series Managing What Matters. We work through three things: the data overlap between HSE workflows and greenhouse-gas accounting, the regional emissions reality that makes national grid averages dangerous, and the Critical Control Management framework, top event, hazard ID, critical…
PAW is closing, and for a lot of Australian organisations, that's about to expose a gap they didn't know they had. In this episode, we sit down with Ian Fagan (Founder) and Sam McKenzie (Director of Psychosocial Compliance) from Skodel to unpack what's really changed in psychosocial risk compliance across Australia, and specifically in NSW, where WHS Codes of Practice became a legally enforceable benchmark from 1 July 2026. We discuss three real, recent enforcement cases, a professional college board found to have mismanaged its own bullying risk, a ten-month workplace investigation that…
We run more investigations than ever, so why aren't workplaces getting safer? In this episode, Mark Alston of Investigations Differently argues the problem starts with how we classify events. Mark unpacks why our injury classifications are largely made up, why a month-long investigation that ends in a ‘watch where you're walking’ toolbox talk is a red flag, and how the Event Learning Assessment helps you match effort to the genuine opportunity to learn. You'll hear why ‘credible potential’ matters, why you should give your team permission not to investigate, and how to reframe the whole…
Your CFO forwards you an email: the auditor needs site-level fuel and electricity data, assured and signed off by a deadline and no one warned you it was coming. In this episode, Grace Phelan of EcoShaper joins myosh Academy to explain why mandatory climate disclosure has quietly become an HSE responsibility, and why most teams are far closer to compliance than they realise. We cover the three forces:- Regulators, - Capital and - Supply chain Making disclosure unavoidable; the difference between sustainability, ESG and climate disclosure (only one is the law); Australia's AASB S2 timeline…
We're communicating more than at any point in history, yet so many people still feel unseen and unheard at work. In this episode, psychologist Dr Natalie Flatt joins myosh Academy host Kristina Shields to explore what happens when we truly listen. Nat explains why hearing someone and understanding them are two very different experiences, how unconscious bias grows in the absence of information, and why listening is one of the most visible indicators of psychological safety. She also shares practical ways to build a genuine listening culture, reverse mentoring, coffee roulette and listening…
The leaders making the biggest difference right now aren't the loudest. They're the most aware. In this episode, executive coach Annette Gray joins myosh Academy to share The Practice of Wise Leadership – a practical, grounded approach to leading consciously through complexity, change, and pressure. We discuss what wise leadership actually looks like in 2026, why traditional command-and-control models are falling short, and the inner work that distinguishes conscious leaders from reactive ones. Annette shares the daily practices any leader can adopt, and then takes live questions from the…
Most safety teams already run pre-task talks and post-incident reviews, so why do the same risks keep showing up, and the same lessons keep slipping through the cracks? In this episode, ex-combat aviation pilots Sam Gladman and Mike Mason of On Target Teaming open up the brief and debrief framework that's non-negotiable in a fighter jet cockpit and explain why most HSEQ leaders have never had access to it. We discuss why typical toolbox talks underdeliver, what an effective brief actually looks like, how to surface insight from routine operations (not just incidents), and how a properly…
Following the overwhelming response to Part 1, this session moves beyond awareness and into what organisations must do next. In this conversation, we explore how ADHD intersects with psychosocial risk, work design, and WHS responsibilities, and why treating ADHD as an individual issue may be missing the bigger picture. Because when you map ADHD against workplace conditions, you don’t just see a performance challenge… You see: Role ambiguity Cognitive overload Constant interruption Poorly managed change All of which are named psychosocial hazards. In this session, we cover: What Rejection…
Burnout is no longer just a wellbeing issue — it’s a critical workplace safety risk. In this webinar, Greg Stark (Founder & Director, Better Being) explores how burnout develops long before it appears in lag indicators like absenteeism, psychological injury claims, and workers compensation data. Drawing on research across 3,000+ Australian workers, this session unpacks how declining capacity impacts focus, decision-making, and safety outcomes — often without being formally recognised in traditional safety systems. In this session, you’ll learn: ✔ Why burnout often goes undetected until it’s…
Adult ADHD diagnoses are rising rapidly, particularly among high-performing professionals in their 30s, 40s and 50s. In this candid conversation, Kristina Shields from myosh sits down with lifespan psychologist Dr Natalie Flatt to explore what late diagnosis ADHD reveals about modern work design, leadership and psychosocial risk. Together they unpack the hidden cost of masking and over-functioning, why many successful professionals feel chronically overwhelmed, and how workplace systems, not just individuals, play a critical role in performance and wellbeing. You’ll learn: Why ADHD diagnoses…
