We're doing things differently

Your host
The Psychosocial Safety Summit is hosted by Nicole Turnbull, Founder and Chief Courage Officer at Neon Shed.
I have over 20 years in communications and 15 years in the work health and safety industry, working for both NSW safety regulators, the Workers Compensation insurer and the Workers Compensation Independent Review Office.
I'm the host of the podcast Under the Rug at Work, the Dark Sides of Work Summit and the World First Lived Experience Summit for bullying and sexual harassment.
I started Neon Shed to bring light to the dark sides of work. I'm on a mission to eliminate psychosocial hazards and ignite courage in leaders and teams by giving them the tools and options to know how to have a safe workplace.
Our Annual Summits help create safe, courageous and thriving workplaces. They connect directly with HR and WHS leaders who are dedicated to improving psychosocial safety in their organisation.
