When people feel safe to speak up, ask questions, challenge ideas, and admit mistakes, teams learn faster and make better decisions. 

Psychological safety is a critical enabler of trust, collaboration, and high performance. 

This highly practical one-day workshop equips participants with the awareness, language, and behaviours needed to build a work environment where openness and accountability coexist. 

Through real workplace scenarios and guided practice, participants learn how psychological safety is shaped in everyday interactions – and what they can do differently, immediately.
