Psychological safety is a topic that is gaining interest as it underpins so many aspects of performance and satisfaction. It's not something that we can 'train' people to implement - all we can do is help people to understand what it is, why it matters and contributes to its presence (absence).

Exercises to explore psychological safety..

Think Differently (choose a subject like working remotely, flexible working etc)

The Way I see it – a series of statements that are emotional e.g. Teenagers have no respect, Social Media does more harm than good etc. Everyone must express an opinion and you can hold 3-minute debates (not for the feint-hearted!)

Some creative thinking exercises – to come up with increasingly wild (yet relevant) ideas to solve a problem for example

Any exercise where a team has to work together to solve a problem yet some information is missing/contrary to see if people are willing to share that. If they don’t, why not? Or something like Project Eureka where people will draw different conclusions - are they willing to share a contrary view or challenge the conclusions of others?

It’s also worth exploring aspects of High Performing Teams especially the GPRI Model

And Trust is a key factor too
