We know that the last two years of the pandemic has been stressful and has taken a toll on the workforce. People are burned out and craving an environment that supports their psychological safety and wellbeing – so how do you create that?
Psychological safety has been identified as the number one determining factor of high-performing teams, engagement and retention. Thankfully, recent breakthroughs in neuroscience are offering insights into the social needs that impact our sense of psychological safety. By identifying and managing these needs we are able to create the safe environment the workforce is seeking.
Join neuroscientist Dr Dan Radecki and Leonie Hull Co-founders of the Academy of Brain-based Leadership, and authors of “Psychological Safety: The key to happy, high-performing people and teams” to:
- understand the brain-based approach to psychological safety
- learn the 4-levels of focus for psychological safety: self, relationship, team and culture
- learn how to leverage this approach to build personal and collective Psychological Safety
- gain key take aways for creating a safe environment that supports you and your workforce

TEDx: The struggle between the emotional and logical brain
In this TEDx talk Dan Radecki explores the idea that our modern brain can over ride our caveman brain.
Improve team performance through psychological safety
Harness the power of neuroscience and build a psychologically safe culture where people thrive, connect, and perform at their best.
Overcoming pandemic panic
Learn about your brain's operating principles, its natural response to uncertainty and unpredictability and some scientifically proven strategies to better manage stress and emotions, and boost your brain health and resilience.
Build trust and belonging – connection through vulnerability
Learn how to leverage neuroscience to effectively build trust and belonging like Herman Miller who has embedded the concept of psychological safety to cultivate connection across their business.

The science behind training effectiveness
Science gives us insights into how humans work so we can avoid training pitfalls while creating new and innovative ways to help people develop to their full potential.
Both academic and industry research identify Psychological Safety as the number one determining factor of successful people and teams. However, until recently we lacked the ability to measure, track or implement strategies for something so intangible and subjective. Thanks to neuroscience research we are now gaining this visibility. This book translates the research to provide valuable insights into the brain – the importance and impact of psychological safety and the strategies to protect and build it personally and collectively.

The S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ Model describes six domains of threat or reward that are important to the brain: Security, Autonomy, Fairness, Esteem, Trust and You. Understanding the needs, rewards, motivations, biases and stress triggers of each domain can provide valuable insights into yourself and others and help improve interactions, teamwork and productivity. The S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ assessment ranks and quantifies your brain’s S.A.F.E.T.Y.™ needs and explores the potential impacts of your profile on you and those around you.
