Ep#129 Psychological Safety for Teams

Have you ever considered how safe you feel at work to speak up, take risks, or be yourself? And if you are a leader, how that affects your leadership and team?
Here we tackle the much-discussed (but often not implemented) basics of psychological safety. It's more than a buzzword; it's the bedrock of team stability, where belonging, confidence and innovation can flourish. 🌱 I share insights on how emotional unsafety can silently erode job satisfaction and results, and why every team member plays a role in fostering a supportive work environment. Listen to discover the subtle signs of a psychologically safe workplace and the amazing upsides that brings.

When we do this, anxiety, stress, frustration, resentment and overwhelm reduce.
We can return smoothly to the helm of our professional life.
