workshops work 311 - Facilitating Courage: A Deeper Look at Psychological Safety with Myriam Hadnes
It’s an art form, but it’s not rocket science. It’s courageous, but it’s not not cushy or comforting. And it’s saying no in meaningful ways, rather than saying yes to everything.
Psychological safety is as much about what it’s not, as what it is. It’s a phenomenon that’s nuanced, ephemeral and often misconceived, asking all of us - facilitator and participant - to hold out our arms to discomfort, take risks, make mistakes and dance in our humanness.
But to achieve it, and then keep it alive for everyone, takes great self-awareness, emotional regulation - and for us facilitators to feel safe first. Join me for a special solo episode - an hour dedicated entirely to the art of psychological safety!
Find out about:
- My 4 practical tips for leaders to create psychological safety around you
- And 4 ways leaders can build psychological safety for themselves
- Beyond the buzzword, what does it really mean to achieve psychological safety?
- Why small mistakes can evolve into bigger risks when safety is absent
- Making every voice count, and feel safe, with the power of using “Yes, and ___”
- The importance of cultivating your own emotional literacy and setting boundaries
