Episode 31: Two Insidious Things That Threaten Psychological Safety Safety

In this episode, you will learn about the importance of psychological safety, what incongruence means, and how we can restore trust when mistakes occur. You’ll discover how integrity plays a key role in building safe spaces, whether in families or organizations and discuss the idea of keeping your promises and communicating openly when things change. Get to the root cause of the issues that undermine trust and safety with me. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Twofold Aspect of Integrity -  Integrity is more than just doing what you say you will do—it is about how you respond when life gets in the way. The true measure of a person's integrity is revealed when circumstances change and commitments can no longer be fulfilled as originally planned.  
• Restoring Integrity Through Communication - Restoring integrity reflects a sense of humility and prioritizing the relationships we cultivate through our actions. It is not just about admitting that a promise cannot be met; it’s about finding a way to fulfill it in a new way.  
• The Gap Between Words and Actions - When your actions do not match your words, it creates confusion and mistrust. Thus, keeping your word is about more than just making promises. It’s about aligning what you say with what you do.  
• The Importance of Psychological Safety for Growth - Psychological safety is the feeling that you can speak up without fear of negative consequences, and when people feel safe, they can truly immerse themselves in the journey of growth. 

 

Notable Highlights: 

"Psychological safety is next to our physiological needs; it is the second most important need for developmental growth." 

"If we don't have our physiological needs met and we don't feel safe, we cannot fathom higher levels of development."
