Research shows that 85% of workers report feeling unable to raise an issue or concern with their bosses, even when they believe the issue is important. This is a serious problem. Apprehension stymies innovation, progress, learning, and growth. In this workshop, we introduce the concept of psychological safety and give leaders the tools to increase the likelihood of their team speaking up, sharing ideas, giving feedback, and admitting mistakes. We’ll explore what leaders can do to set expectations, provide motivation, model behavior, set up team norms and rituals, express gratitude, and destigmatize failure. Participants will leave this workshop with the tools to create brave spaces and bring out the best in their team.
