Psychological Safety at work takes effort. It’s not the norm.
But it’s worth the effort.”

A warm welcome
Overview
Thanks for joining us. We’ve put together a set of resources for you to use that supplement our face-to-face time. They’re designed to provide additional reinforcement and information around concepts, extend your thinking, offer practical expertise and resources and generally help you feel more confident with Psychological Safety.
It’s best to work through the modules in order as the material builds on key ideas from module to module. Once you’ve been through it then you can revisit different parts whenever you wish.
This will help set you up for success by guiding you through the skills and thinking you need to develop Psychological Safety in your teams and organisation.
If you need support at any time or would like to take this further, such as small group work or 1:1 time, please contact us at info@cerebra.co.nz.
Let’s get you started…
Before this work
A Psychologically Unsafe environment just feels wrong, like you never really thaw out so to speak. You’ll recognise the feeling, both psychologically and physically. You’re guarded, picking and choosing what you say, when, and to whom. You self-censor and manage both your reputation and image. You don’t speak up, offer critique, disagree or challenge. It’s likely you don’t speak up about not being able to speak up. And you won’t offer new ideas or innovations as freely as you otherwise might.
After this work
As a manager, learning how to create an environment of Psychological Safety benefits you, your team, and the organisation. You’ll be able to develop trust, strengthen relationships, foster improvements and deliver better results. You’ll notice more confidence in working with others and recognise how people relate to you. As a team member, you’ll be able to contribute, challenge, suggest, and trust that your input is valued. You flourish rather than freeze.
