What is it about?

Imagine feeling comfortable being yourself at work. Your ideas are encouraged, you never feel outcast or foolish for expressing opinions, and you feel safe addressing difficult subjects. This freedom allows people to bring their best selves to work and deliver extraordinary results.

High-performing and engaged teams thrive on psychological safety. When people feel accepted and respected, they work with greater energy, creativity, and commitment.

Our brains are constantly scanning for safety and survival. If we feel safe, our thinking and performance improve. But if we sense danger—whether real or perceived—it triggers a fight-or-flight response, hijacking how we think, feel, and act. Managers play a pivotal role in creating psychological safety. Their actions can either reduce perceived threats or amplify them, significantly impacting team culture, performance, and wellbeing.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create psychological safety for your team and yourself, even in fast-paced or high-pressure environments. The safer people feel, the better the culture and the higher the team performance.
