Description
For most people managers and leaders, the question isn't whether psychological safety matters, but how to actually foster it when the pressure is on. This masterclass is a strategic deep-dive into the mechanics of trust. We incorporate the conceptual and the practical to provide leaders with a concrete toolkit for building environments where teams can innovate, challenge, and excel. We tackle the important questions: How do you identify team members who have "checked out" due to a lack of safety, and how do you bring them back? By blending psychological safety theory with high-performance concepts and our proprietary AI agent, Zed, we teach you how to facilitate the crucial conversations most people shy away from. This is about moving from a culture of silence to a culture of high-performance.

FAQs

The finance aspect is the "anchor," but the core of the session is human. We use the data to get the attention of the business, but we use the tools (like Zed and the films) to fix the culture.

While tailored for managers and senior leaders, these workshops are equally effective for teams, HR teams and specialised cohorts like ERG committees seeking to deepen their strategic impact.
-
We recommend a maximum of 25 participants to maintain the psychological safety and intimacy required for deep peer-to-peer discussion, but we can increase to 50 to stay in budget.
-
This session is primarily pitched at a beginner to intermediate level to ensure all participants build a solid, shared foundation of language and understanding. However, because we prioritise impact over a "one-size-fits-all" approach, the depth and nuance of the content can be tailored to meet the specific needs, seniority, and DEI maturity of your cohort.
