The cornerstones of psychological safety

,

Timothy R. Clark’s book “The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety” highlights that at work, psychological safety is essential for employee wellbeing, engagement, and performance. There are four stages of psychological safety:

  • Including - Actively promoting diversity and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard and considered.

  • Learning - Encouraging a growth mindset and recognises that failure is an essential part of the learning process.

  • Contributing – This involves recognising and appreciating the unique strengths and contributions of each team member.

  • Challenging - Recognising that innovation and growth often come from questioning assumptions and exploring new ideas.

I think that each of these stages highlights a unique human need that exists across demographics, psychographics, and geographies.  Contact me via e-mail for a confidential meeting about your organisations psychological safety efforts.

Diversity questions

,

I think that leaders create culture, and culture drives behaviour, and behaviour produces results.

  • Why is our diversity training failing?

  • What can we do to really drive organisational change?

  • How do we learn and truly embed change into our organisation?

  • When we learn about diversity, what are we learning?

  • How will we create a psychological safe space in our organisation?

If any of the above questions are reflective of what is happening in your organisation, please contact me here, or via e-mail to arrange a meeting.

Material vs. psychological value

Is economic value material or can it be psychological?

Economic value can be both material and psychological, depending on the context and perspective. In the traditional sense, economic value is often associated with tangible and measurable factors such as physical assets, goods, services, or resources. The psychological aspects of economic value are driven by individual or collective beliefs, preferences, and emotions. I think the next burst in economic growth will be driven by improvements in marketing efficiency, specifically resulting from in academic research in psychology, human behaviour, anthropology, and behavioural economics.
