The 2026 Psychological Safety
Leadership Reset
A Tailored Leadership Coaching Program for Safer, Stronger, More Capable Leaders
The Reality for Australian Leaders Right Now
Across Australia (and globally), workplace psychological safety expectations have fundamentally changed. With new regulatory requirements coming into effect and employees holding organisations accountable for how they're led, the spotlight on leadership behaviour has never been brighter.
Yet most organisations aren't struggling because they lack policies. They're exposed because day-to-day leadership behaviour hasn't kept pace with what the law now requires in practice.
Australia's New Psychological Safety Requirements
From 1 December 2025, Victoria's new psychological health regulations bring the state into alignment with the rest of the country. Across Australia, employers already have legal obligations to identify and manage psychological hazards with the same seriousness as physical safety. These aren't compliance tick-boxes - they require real, ongoing action by leaders to;
Assess and manage risks like bullying, work stress, trauma and fatigue.
Implement control measures - training alone is insufficient. Systemic changes are required
Consult with their people, regularly review controls
The critical point: These regulations focus on identifying and controlling hazards through leadership behaviour and systems - not policies alone. How leaders communicate, set expectations, handle conflict, and respond to pressure directly determines whether psychological hazards are created or prevented.
Why Leaders Get Stuck
Competence isn't the issue. Leaders understand what psychological safety looks like. The gap is between understanding and action - between knowing what to do and actually doing it under pressure.
Most unhelpful leadership behaviours come from pressure, habit, and inherited patterns - not lack of care. We see leaders who are:
Unclear when communicating under pressure
Avoiding the conversations that would prevent problems from escalating
Setting expectations inconsistently across teams
Overloaded and reactive, leaving no space for proactive leadership
Unsure how to set boundaries with staff or senior leaders
Relying upwards instead of leading down and out
Uncertain how to build genuine trust and psychological safety
Addressing conflict too late, when tension has already hardened
What This Creates
These everyday behaviours aren't just uncomfortable - they're measurable, costly, and create real exposure inside organisations:
Issues escalate unnecessarily, creating reactive firefighting across leadership
Small tensions turn into formal complaints, employment lawyers, and time drain
Teams feel unsure or overwhelmed, leading to higher turnover
Performance slows and errors increase in psychologically unsafe environments
Senior leaders and owners carry the emotional load, burning out faster
Organisations become vulnerable to compliance breaches and worker compensation claims
Unfortunately more WHS training won't fix this. More documentation won't fix this. What does work is targeted leadership coaching that helps leaders show up clearer, calmer, and more consistently - so psychological safety becomes something they do, not something written in a policy.
The Psychological Safety Leadership Reset
A structured, practical 3-month leadership coaching reset designed around your actual leadership needs.
This isn't generic leader development. Your program is built from your own leadership assessment - identifying your unique pressure points, patterns, and blind spots. Every session, conversation, and behaviour shift targets your specific context. No two resets are the same.
Who This Is For
You're a good fit for the Reset if:
You want leaders who communicate clearly and consistently
You need issues addressed early, before they become complaints or compliance risks
You want teams to feel genuinely psychologically safe, not just compliant
You're tired of senior leaders being the emotional dumping ground for every people problem
You want to demonstrate due diligence for the new psychosocial health regulations
You're ready to invest in behaviour change, not just policies
Who This Is Not For
This program is not suitable if you're seeking:
WHS Code interpretation or legal compliance advice
Policy development or documentation
Audit support or quality assurance
Team mediation or crisis intervention
Training-only solutions
'Fix my staff' approaches
Programs for leaders not ready to self-reflect or change their own behaviour
This Reset develops leadership behaviour. It doesn't provide WHS systems, policy, or legal advice. Those require separate expertise.
Within 3 Months you’ll have:
Leaders who communicate with clarity and confidence - reducing misunderstandings and confusion
Issues addressed early, before escalation to complaints, conflict, or compliance exposure
Consistent expectations across teams and calmer decision-making under pressure
Stronger team trust and genuine psychological safety - not because of a policy, but because of how leaders show up
Less reliance on senior leaders to resolve people problems
Fewer issues looping back through the organisation, creating systemic improvement
Your leaders are clearer, calmer, and more consistent in how they show up.
Issues are being addressed early - because leaders are having the conversations before tension hardens.
Teams know what's expected and they're meeting it. There's less confusion and rework.
Senior leaders or business owners aren't carrying every emotional fire. People problems aren't looping back.
Workload feels lighter because leadership behaviour is stronger.
Psychological safety isn't a compliance box to tick - it's simply how your leaders lead.
You have documented behaviour change, demonstrated due diligence for the new regulations, and stronger team performance.
How The Reset Works
Step One: Executive Debrief & Focus Map
A confidential assessment identifying your actual leadership pressure points, patterns, and gaps. This isn't WHS or legal compliance - it's purely about leadership behaviour. You'll understand where your leaders are struggling and why.
Step Two: Leadership Behaviour Assessment (up to 5 leaders included in price - additional leaders extra)
A 90-minute strategic planning session where you define your top 3–5 leadership focus areas for the program. You'll walk away with a tailored Leadership Focus Map for 2026 that guides everything that follows.
Step Three: Leader Kickstart Session
A 90-minute group session where each leader builds a personalised Leadership Focus Plan aligned to your organisational goals. Leaders come to understand what they're working on and why it matters.
Step Four: Six Fortnightly Coaching Sessions
Real coaching for real scenarios. Each session targets your priority areas: communication clarity under pressure, psychological safety in action, courageous conversations with teams, managing conflict early, setting boundaries, staying regulated as a leader, and reducing over-reliance on senior leaders. This is coaching at the moment - not theory, but practical behaviour change for the specific situations your leaders face.
Final Step: Integration & Next Steps
A final group session plus optional senior leader debrief to consolidate behaviour shifts and plan what's next for 2026-2027. Your leaders walk out with momentum, clarity, and tools to sustain change.
Don't Just Take My Word For It - Here's What Happens When You Get The Reset You Need
Sam made the whole process seem so simple. She took something that was causing us so much stress and laid it out in such a logical, easy-to-follow way. Her professionalism, knowledge and support were invaluable.
If we could change one thing, it would be meeting Sam sooner! Before working with Sam, we felt stretched thin - trying to handle everything ourselves, unsure of the right steps to take. She simplified the process, reassured us when we had doubts, and was always available to answer our questions. One of the most valuable lessons we've learned is the power of delegation. Sam showed us that trusting our team with responsibilities not only strengthens our business but allows us to focus on the bigger picture.

I’m a leadership coach with over 20 years’ experience leading and advising organisations in high-pressure, people-first environments.
Before coaching, I worked at CEO and executive level, leading multi-disciplinary teams, building services from the ground up, and navigating sustained organisational pressure - where decisions carried human, financial, and reputational consequences. I’ve led through complexity across Disability and Community Services, Education, Finance, and Community Development.
My work focuses on helping leaders at all levels understand how their behaviour under pressure shapes culture, psychological safety, and performance, and how those patterns ripple through an organisation.
My work is not leadership theory.
Nor is it capability training.
But the behavioural patterns that quietly shape how leadership actually functions under pressure.
I specialise in helping organisations see what’s really driving culture, decision-making, and psychological safety - particularly when leaders are capable, well-intentioned, and still experiencing drag, silence, or overload.
The Reset is designed for leadership teams who don’t need motivation or more frameworks - but do need clarity, alignment, and behavioural consistency at the top, so pressure stops leaking down the system.
This work is structured, contained, and tailored to the organisation’s goals - creating the conditions for leaders to lead clearly, teams to speak early, and accountability to hold without fear.
