Psychological Safety: The Foundation for Better Ideas

​Why candour, challenge and the confidence to speak up are essential for creativity and better problem solving.

​Psychological safety is often misunderstood as simply creating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable. But it isn’t about avoiding challenge, lowering standards or agreeing with one another.

​It is about creating the conditions in which people can ask difficult questions, challenge assumptions, admit uncertainty, share half-formed ideas and raise concerns before they become bigger problems.

​In this free Make Happy webinar, we’ll introduce the core principles of psychological safety and explore different ways of understanding how it develops within a team. We’ll look at why candour and constructive disagreement matter—and why teams cannot make full use of their collective creativity if people are holding back.

​We’ll also share a practical framework from our psychological safety training, alongside a Miro template you can use to begin exploring these questions with your own team.

​You’ll leave with:

• ​A clearer understanding of what psychological safety is—and what it isn’t

• ​Insight into the different conditions that allow people to participate, contribute and challenge

• ​A stronger sense of its relationship to creativity, innovation and better problem solving

• ​Practical questions and tools for starting a more candid conversation within your team

​This session is for leaders, facilitators, coaches, people professionals and anyone interested in helping teams think better together.
