Overview
Psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams. Neuroscience reveals that the human brain is programmed to scan the environment five times a second, posing a critical question: “Am I safe here or am I in danger?” When our brains sense risk, survival mode takes over and performance drops. When our brains sense reward and safety, we open up, collaborate and thrive.
This interactive workshop explores the science of safety and threat responses, introduces the No Tears Model and gives participants practical tools to create environments where people feel valued, supported and motivated. By understanding the biological and psychological mechanisms underlying trust, belonging and fairness, leaders and teams can consciously shape cultures that foster optimal performance from everyone.
