It's about you, not us…

Your training will be based entirely around your needs and aims - we are simply the 'canaries in the mineshaft' who had our human errors solved by NASA first - our industry would not have survived the error rate we had forty years ago.

We use our human goofs (both spectacular and amusing) as the Human Factors examples from which your delegates will create their own tools to tackle their own issues.

The connection is simple - all human error lies within nine human competencies which we all share. By using ourselves as the examples we are a psychologically safe area for your colleagues to confidentially examine their professional lives and identify the areas where error has crept in and develop solutions that prevent recurrence and create an open learning culture.

What are the results?

• Effective communication & understanding
• Predict events & avoids problems
• Use human cues that capacity is being stretched
• Develop guaranteed escape routes to stop issues instantly
• Use organised problem solving & decision making to ensure safe outcomes
• Leadership that enables & inspires
• A Just Culture which provides the psychological safety to learn
• Happy, driven, productive individuals & complementary teams
• Save time otherwise spent mitigating predictable events
• Incremental gains which multiply into transformational change

It is not how good you are now, it is how good you can be.

Senior IT Developer

What an amazing day spent with Ad Astra Human Performance and the Senior Team. It was so refreshing to see learning from other industries to focus on core Human Competencies to improve leadership and performance. Human Competencies rather than leadership standards is such a forward way of thinking. Today was just the start and really looking forward to seeing this evolve.

Sharon Waterman

Endeavour Learning Trust

With regards to the course, it was so worthwhile attending – one of the best courses I have attended in a long time. I would highly recommend. A good mix of illustrative videos, group activities and anecdotes that keep you fully engaged for the duration

Finance Division Controller

The CPD training we received from AdAstra was simply outstanding. Being given the chance to discuss human competencies with colleagues brought about so many solutions to long standing issues that we had not had the skill set to combat. Training helped facilitate discussion that gave each of our middle leaders the common language and toolkit that meant we could more efficient in dealing with the challenges. It was brilliant to come together and give concrete examples of how we've been able to use these resources to improve our communications and Develop stronger relationships in the work place.

Today was up there with one of the best training days I have attended. Thanks also to Josh. Steve and Peter.
