Brave Teams for a Brave New World with Psychological Safety
Psychological safety isn't about being nice.
Psychological safety is one of the most misunderstood ideas in management. It doesn't mean a comfortable, conflict-free team. It means people feel safe enough to take risks, speak up, challenge ideas and admit mistakes. Teams with real psychological safety have more disagreement, not less.
This keynote also looks at the part we rarely discuss: the safety we extend to ourselves. If your inner response to a B+ is the same as it would be to an F, difficult things stop feeling worth attempting. That's not high standards. That's fear with better branding.
What your audience takes away
- What psychological safety is, and what it isn't
- How to keep conflict about ideas productive rather than personal
- Why the safety you extend to yourself makes difficult work sustainable
