Tutor Quote

"When I train I like to reference a psychology study by Ellen Langer from the late 70s; the 'photocopier study' — the finding that people will accept almost any reason when asked for a small favour, but need a genuine one once the stakes are higher. It's shaped how I think about my own role: my job isn't to get people to tick a box, it's to make sure they understand why a standard or clause exists, so it's understood and not just followed. That's the approach I try to bring to every training session and audit."
