About the Course

Every organization has a culture. Every team has a culture. That culture falls on a spectrum that ranges from healthy and productive to unhealthy and damaging.  When leaders and teams learn to measure and operationalize psychological safety principles, they experience exponential improvements in team performance, innovation, and inclusion. Join us in exploring how you can implement psychologically safe practices in your workplace and with your team.

Psychological safety is the foundation of team performance and is defined as a sense of belonging to a team with the opportunity to interact with its members and contribute to its purpose without fear of being punished or feeling rejected.

Course duration: 2 hours

For who: Leaders and managers seeking to build a culture of intellectual bravery. Employees and teams seeking better, more fluid collaboration.

1. Inclusion Safety: How do you make others feel included?
2. Learn Safety: How do you make others feel safe & motivated to learn?

4. Challenger Safety: How do you make others feel safe enough to innovate?
