📆 16 February and 19 July 2024
Creating a Culture of Psychological Safety:
Strategies for building trust and resilience
Learn by Doing: Transforming Insight into Impactful Action for psychological safety
The pandemic underscored a fundamental truth: trust and resilience form the bedrock upon which teams either falter or flourish in high-pressure work environments. Leaders adept at fostering open communication, encouraging vulnerability, embracing risk-taking, and valuing diverse perspectives cultivate teams that not only endure but actively support each other. In the face of the intricate challenges defining modern work life, such teams not only survive but thrive, weathering overwhelming pressures that can otherwise stifle productivity and innovation. This workshop is designed to help you enhance your ability to nurture psychological safety within your team, creating an environment of trust where innovation thrives, challenges are met with resilience, and collective success is the norm.
At the completion of this full-day workshop you will have:
- the ability to identify key elements contributing to psychological safety and assess its current state in their teams.
- valuable insights into the practical and emotional aspects of team interaction that either contribute to or hinder a culture of psychological safety.
- an understanding of theoretical frameworks for fostering trust and resilience in work environments.
- actionable psychological safety strategies for translating workshop learnings into elevated levels of trust and resilience in their teams.
What’s included in this full-day workshop?
➣ A facilitated discussion exploring the elements of psychological safety and why it is important leads to a diagnostic exercise for participants to identify the current state of psychological safety in their teams.
➣ Participating in experiential learning through a temporary team exercise offers valuable insights into both the practical and emotional dimensions of collaboration, shedding light on behaviours that may hinder or foster a culture of psychological safety.
➣ A seminar on the theory and practical application of Winnicott’s (1971) concept of the ‘holding environment’ and Hirschhorn and Gilmore’s (1992) ‘managing the boundaries that matter’ for cultivating work environments in which trust and resilience can thrive.
➣ Dedicated time to review how the workshop learning can be applied to address identified team issues allowing participants to leave with practical strategies for taking their team’s psychological safety to new levels.
