Topic Area
Psychological Safety is the latest buzzword many people are talking about but may not truly understand; this keynote will change that. We will discuss the benefits of having a psychologically safe working environment, the potential issues when it isn’t present, and, most importantly, what we can do to create psychological safety for others. We will also talk about why some people feel psychologically safe to be themselves, ask questions, and make mistakes while others don’t and ways we can close those gaps.
Participants will walk away with new knowledge, skills, and abilities to help create a better working environment that increases innovation, collaboration, and engagement.
