Psychological Safety: Do you Frighten or Brighten a Room?

When we talk about psychological safety, we’re really talking about the energy we bring into a space. These invisible cues tell others whether they can relax or if they need to stay on edge. In teams where people feel psychologically safe, there’s a sense of ease. People share ideas freely, own up to their mistakes, ask questions without fear, and can generally be themselves. They feel seen, heard, and valued just as they are.
