Manage episode 448471108 series 3599160
In this solo episode, I dive deeper into the idea of psychological safety, building on my conversation with Jason Eisner from last week. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, I highly recommend checking it out for a foundational understanding of how a psychologically safe environment can drive team performance and innovation.
Join me as I recap key insights from my interview with Jason, highlighting the critical role of vulnerability in fostering psychological safety. We often face challenges in creating open cultures due to defensiveness and overwhelm, and I’ll share actionable strategies for overcoming these barriers.
In this episode, you will learn:
The Power of Vulnerability: How being open about your own challenges can encourage team members to do the same.
Improv Exercises: I’ll introduce a powerful listening drill that illustrates the importance of truly hearing others, a vital skill for leaders and team members alike.
Practical Action Items: Get ready to implement straightforward steps to create a more psychologically safe team environment.
Creativity Connection: Understand how these techniques not only enhance psychological safety but also unlock creativity within your team.
I'll also demonstrate an improv game called "Blind Line," which encapsulates the idea of maintaining an empty mind to foster creativity. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better grasp of how to create a culture of trust and openness in your organization.
Plus, I’ll provide details about Psych Safety Day, a virtual conference where you can learn more from experts in the field, including a keynote from Dr. Amy Edmondson, the pioneer of psychological safety research.
So, if you're ready to take the next step in building a more supportive and innovative workplace, tune in now!
