How we do it
what we do to support your team effectiveness
- Through open dialogue and sharing personal concerns and fears. The behaviours that create psychological safety — such as conversational turn-taking and empathy — are part of the same unwritten rules we often turn to, as individuals, when we need to establish a bond.
- Create the relational environment for individuals to be 'seen'.
- Help the team question and challenge its own assumptions, often then enabling radically new ways of working to emerge.
- Encourage courageous communication, go beneath the surface to find the root of the conflict to a level where understanding and shared values/outcomes can enable resolution.
- Help the team to support each other in recognising & creating circumstances where they can play to their strengths.
- Enabling each individual to retain their personal authenticity.
- Raise awareness of multiple perspectives.
- Hold individuals accountable for their commumnication and how it 'lands' within the team dynamic.
- Challenge assumptions / lack of clarity - drive accountability.
- Support recognition of the wisdom, experience and strategic capability of the team over time.
- Develop a climate of psychological safety where collective learning can happen
