Psychological Safety in Teams
Summary: The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety — the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake. Studies show that psychological safety allows for moderate risk-taking, speaking your mind, creativity, and sticking your neck out without fear of having it cut off — just the types of behavior that lead to market breakthroughs. So how can you increase psychological safety on your own team?
New Website
After being in business for quite a while and growing to this point, it was time to upgrade my website! My original site was created by me, so it’s so nice to have someone do it who knows what they’re doing
CHECK OUT THE NEW WEBSITE (When websites are new, sometimes there are a few hiccups or errors – think of it as an Easter Egg hunt. Find something that’s not right? Let me know!)

Tune in to this week’s episode to have a listen!
