Episode 20: Becoming an East West Lawyer - The Black Box of Psychological Safety

In this episode, I discuss psychological safety. How comfortable do you feel being yourself and voicing your opinion? Does it make a difference when you can do this vs. when you can't? What is the level of risks you are willing to take when you feel safe taking those risks? And what happens when you operate in the fear of retribution?

Psychological safety is closely linked to acceptance, belonging, risk-taking, and overall growth and progress. In this episode, I discuss the basics—what psychological safety feels like, how it influences us, and how we can start identifying its presence and absence.
