Wow – What a Summit!
I am blown away by the quality, integrity and expertise of the Guest Experts involved in the first 7 Dark Sides of Work Summit.
I created the Summit to showcase individuals and organisations who are making real change when it comes to the dark sides of work, and helping people who witness, experience or are harmed by these issues.
They nailed it – but it became so much more..
The Summit is real, raw and unedited. We lean into the tough stuff – the things that people sweep under the rug in the hope that it goes away. We know that never works…
The speakers are passionate, honest, and actually walk the talk. They have courage and commitment and are changing the world for the better.
They share practical solutions you can start implementing today
Here’s what people are saying…
- ‘It feels like you were talking directly to me, this was about my life…’
- ‘This Summit is forward thinking – in 5 years time it will still be relevant’
- ‘OMG it’s so practical! Actual solutions I can use today!’
- ‘This was refreshing to listen to and empowering to know that changes in the workplace can occur starting with me.’
- ‘All of the interviews have been really good – like really good! They give you things you can do – ways you can actually stop the problems at work’
