I've never heard so much laughter during a training day before 😂🤣
It turned out to be one of those extra good days, a full day on Psychological Safety with all managers at Visma PubliTech.
Thank you for such a wonderfully warm welcome and your genuine commitment. So much wisdom gathered in this group. How exciting to embark on the path towards a learning, brave, inclusive organization filled with much laughter and warmth!
We reviewed the research on psychological safety and neuroscientific references.
We tried out
-Many, many tools. For example, the powerful word THANK YOU at the right moment and how a thoughtful breath can be the difference between psychological insecurity and safety.
-Mindful listening and matching each other in conversations, and also experienced the pain that arises from being mismatched, and how small details in body communication make all the difference.
Communicating bravely and listening empathetically is an art. Are you aware of your intention when you listen to someone? Do you listen to understand or to reply?
The 7 criteria used to measure psychological safety
🟡If you make a mistake, it is not held against you
🟢Can bring up problems and difficult questions
🟠Easy to ask others in the group for help
🟣(Inclusion & Diversity) Does not exclude members from the group for being different.
🔵It feels safe to take risks in this group
🔴No one in this group would intentionally act in a way that undermines my work.
🟡Group members value and utilize my abilities and competence.
Do you know how many mistakes occur within your organization that you never find out about, and therefore can never learn from, only risking them to be repeated year after year?
How do you contribute to psychological safety in groups?
