About Being Human
Being Human was founded by Sisters, Helen & Claire.
Using the discipline of Human Factors as our framework, we apply scientific knowledge about the human body, mind and behaviour to better understand our fundamental capabilities and limitations.
We use that understanding to shape the optimum environment for technical skills and human skills to work together to maximise human performance.
Human Factors is an integral part of all aviation and medical training, and we believe that it has equal value to the legal and veterinary professions.
"Skills like effective confrontation, empathy and patience are not soft skills. They are human skills, and they must be learned."
