CULTIVATING PSYCHOLOGICAL safety

Why is this course important?

Psychological Safety (PS) is the number one fundamental underpinning required for team and organisation performance.​

This programme of workshops and team-coaching sessions will arm your teams and leaders with practical tools and techniques to support improving Psychological Safety in your teams and organisation.​​

OBJECTIVES
Building upon the Psychological Safety Scan or Briefing, this interactive programme will teach and practice key techniques within the safety of a controlled workshop environment. This is followed by coaching and group support for the participants practising within the work context.​

​The aim of this programme is to catalyse new behaviours that will have a positive influence on the level of safety in your teams and the wider organisation.​

Programmes are customised to suit specific contexts and varying requirements.

    Audience
    As Psychological Safety is a group dynamic, anyone who works in a team or leadership role has an influence on the safety of groups in which they collaborate and interact.​

    In summary, this briefing will benefit teams and leaders.

    Certification
    This briefing is not associated with a certification.  
    Duration
    Programmes are customised to suit specific contexts and varying requirements.​

    ​Sessions are distributed over a number of weeks to ensure participants have sufficient opportunity to practise new techniques. The elapsed time of programmes varies between 1 to 3 months.​

    ​The total amount of session time also varies dependent on the size and number of groups and by context. The total session time of programmes starts from approximately 10 hours.

      pre-Work
      This programme builds on the Psychological Safety Scan or Briefing. If necessary, we can add the Briefing module to initiate the programme. ​

      ​We also recommend reading Amy Edmondson’s book The Fearless Organization.

      I love surfacing and pursuing the “difference that’ll make the difference” – whether that’s direct gains from Agile & Lean principles and techniques, or more often through supporting and encouraging growth in the people involved. I draw on a variety of approaches to help people to become more able, creative and innovative in tackling the challenges that they, their teams and organisations face in pursuit of happy and productive environments. 

      Away from work, I am often out exploring the countryside on foot or by bike. I adore nature, however my family are starting to think that they’re living in a garden centre! 

      Senior Coach and Agile Consultant. In addition to Agile certifications, I am a certified International Coaching Federation (ICF) Coach, Licenced Psychological Safety Practitioner and NLP Trainer.
