Morning Session: Psychological Safety
Evidence shows that when teams have psychological safety, they're more willing to acknowledge their own mistakes and figure out how to prevent them from moving forward. They're also more comfortable raising problems and exploring innovative solutions." During this session, we will focus on the "why," "what," and "impact" and create a call to action.
Learning Objectives:
- How the foundation of a learning culture is psychological safety
- Being able to take risks without fear of reprisal
