No leader wakes up every day TRYING to instill fear in their teams, and yet fear is everywhere, because humans are an inherently risk averse species. Fear of failure. Fear of looking incompetent. Fear of rejection or embarrassment. All of these fears (and more) are preventing your employees and your leaders every day from sharing their ideas, their opinions and from taking strategic risks to make your organization better. So how do you intentionally create the safety your teams need to be at their best, to show up and to speak up? This workshop will provide practical insights and tools for building the number one characteristic of high performing teams and organizations - psychological safety. Come learn how to help your teams fear LESS!

Learning Objectives:
- Understand (and experience) the neurobiology of fear
- Understand our habitual and instinctive responses to fear in social settings and how that disrupts individual and organizational effectiveness
- Feel compassion for ourselves and others when we react/respond out of fear/threat (after all, none of us can help it!)
- Understand that we are all in this together - that "villainizing" leaders is not helpful - they are just as subject to fear/trauma/threat in the workplace as everyone else.
- Understand the criticality of creating psycho-social safety in the workplace AND learn how to create that safety and disrupt habitual fear responses in others by sending safety signals
- Feel inspired to implement and/or teach these safety signal techniques in your organization
- Commit to making SAFETY go VIRAL .. because our trauma filled world and trauma filled workplaces are in desperate need safe spaces.
