What is Psychological Safety?
Psychological safety is “a sense of confidence that the team will not embarrass, reject or punish someone for speaking up. It describes a team climate characterized by interpersonal trust and mutual respect in which people are comfortable being themselves.” (1999 study by Amy Edmundson)
When someone feels judged, they don't feel psychologically safe.
I teach communication strategies that create psychology safety, improving home, work, and school environments.
Environments with psychological safety create:
76%
more engagement and 50% more productivity
(Google’s Project Aristotle)
74%
less stress, 27% reduction in turnover, and 29% more life satisfaction
(Humane Capital Institute)

And after 16 years of working with them, I profoundly realized that the tools I use with them, can be used with everyone.
