Create Psychological Safety
Customizable in length and duration
OVERVIEW
Dr. Amy C. Edmondson, the scholar and Harvard Business School professor who coined the term psychological safety defines it as “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.”
Creating psychological safety in courageous conversations is essential, so your colleague has the space to talk and work through the challenges they are facing. Our choice of words, tone, body language, and listening to understand versus respond all contribute to or detract from the psychological safety we create in a conversation.
