Creating Psychological Safety – Virtual Workshop

Available for all roles and all grades. May be most beneficial to those in a leadership role or aspiring leaders.

A one day virtual workshop.

Studies are increasingly highlighting the important role that psychological safety plays at work. “In a team with high
psychological safety, teammates feel safe to take risks around their team members. They feel confident that no one
on the team will embarrass or punish anyone else for admitting a mistake, asking a question, or offering a new idea.”

This workshop is intended to be run as a programme of self-exploration, designed for individuals to highlight
possible challenges before they become issues, and share ideas and opportunities for improvement with their
colleagues.

1 day virtual workshop designed to enhance skills & confidence & to provide a framework to deliver courageous conversations.

Sometimes we feel over worked and under appreciated. Other times, we might like to give feedback but hold back for fear of reprisal. Occasionally, we may feel undermined by a colleague or boss. The common thread in these scenarios is the need to have a potentially difficult conversation.
These conversations take strategy, skill and above all courage. This workshop is designed to help build these skills & confidence.
