Psychological safety is often described as the belief that you won’t be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.It sounds straightforward, but in real workplaces it often breaks down in small, everyday moments.<ul><li>A concern gets brushed aside.</li><li>An employee showing stress gets dismissed.</li><li>A mistake quietly follows someone long after it happened.</li></ul>None of these moments are usually intended to create fear. But over time they teach people what’s safe to say and what isn’t.In this episode, Nicole and Paula talk about how psychological safety shows up in real teams and the leadership behaviours that quietly shape it.They explore how it connects to things like:<ul><li>authenticity and inclusivity</li><li>commitment and transparency</li><li>honest feedback and candour</li><li>connection and belonging</li><li>how mistakes and risk-taking are handled</li></ul>Because when people feel safe, they participate. When they don’t, they go quiet.
