It's all about creating a workplace where individuals feel safe to be themselves, share ideas, and take risks without fear.

Have you ever...

Known the answer to a problem but felt afraid to say anything?
Found yourself in hot water for challenging “the way things are done”?
Been ridiculed in front of others?
Held back asking a question so as to not look silly?
Had someone make you feel like you don’t belong?
Had input unfairly dismissed, or ridiculed?
Know of better ways of doing things, but been afraid of the consequences of failure to take risks?

How did that make you feel?

“Psychological safety is the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with idea, questions, concerns or mistakes, and that the team is safe for interpersonal risk-taking.” -Amy C. Edmondson

What are the most important qualities that leaders bring to the table?

Self-awareness

Emotional intelligence

Vulnerability

Active listening

Empathy and compassion

Humility

Open-mindedness

Positive communication

95% of people think they're self-aware, but only 10-15% of people have high levels of self-awareness

(Tasha Eurich, 2018)

Fostering Psych Safety

Open dialogue among heart-centered professionals has the power to transform challenges into opportunities, creating a stronger and more resilient future for the organization.

Authentic conversations have a profound impact on our well-being, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose. When individuals feel heard and valued, their creativity and passion flourish, driving innovation and growth.

In organizations where open dialogue thrives, ideas become catalysts for meaningful change, extending far beyond the original context and resonating throughout communities. A single shared experience can ignite a ripple effect, sparking solutions that make a lasting impact.

This is why I want to talk to your organization about psychological safety.

Invite me to speak during your next team meeting!

Systemic Challenges: When organizations ask their staff to show up as their full-selves, we are not only asking them to share about their favorite team or ‘how was their weekend.’ We ask them to show up with their beliefs, ideas, and values that can differ from one another. And in this, we must come together to collectively make positive change.
