Emotional Safety At Work
Many people are reluctant to express their difficult feelings at work lest they be perceived as, "weak, unreliable, a job risk, or unworthy of projects or promotions."
The good news is there are proactive ways to create an emotionally safe culture, where people can bring tough emotions to work in an appropriate way. The benefit of people feeling psychologically safe to speak up at work about how they feel or what's really going on is increased performance, productivity and loyalty, because people feel seen, heard or respected.
In this session with Dr. Sarah, you will be able to:
Understand the power of noticing and naming feelings for decision-making, empathy and problem-solving.
Accept tough feelings, rather than 'struggling and sinking', resulting in lower stress and improved performance.
Discover the value of 'presence not platitudes' to develop empathy and psychological safety for more supportive relationship.
Our moderator will be Simon J Littlewood and our speaker will be:
