Safe to Fail
Full day workshop for teams
Psychological safety in your teams is crucial.
You’ve heard it before: Google says it, Harvard’s Professor of Leadership and Management, Amy C. Edmondson says it: psychological safety in your teams is crucial. Great, but what does that mean exactly? And how do you create an environment where your teams feel safe to speak up, to experiment, and to fail?
Workshop objectives
Learn how to reframe limiting beliefs that are holding back the organization
Learn how to invite peers and subordinates to speak up and to exhibit new behaviour
Learn how to respond to different types of failures in a productive way
We want people to experience psychological safety, not only explain what psychological safety is and how teams can benefit from it.
Duration
This is a 6-hour in-person workshop.
Outline
In this workshop we explore each of the three categories of Amy Edmondson's book "The Fearless Organization": set the stage, invite participation, respond productively. We ask participants to take examples from their own environment in which they feel that psychological safety is lacking. All exercises are interactive and help to build skills that can immediately be used to start improving psychological safety. We use liberating structures, visualisation and movement to help participants to explore what is required to make their situation more psychologically safe.
Topics include:
What is Psychological Safety?
Psychological Safety and frames
Reframing limiting beliefs
Using Impact Feedback and Powerful Questions to invite participation
Failure Types
Responding productively for different failure types
