This learning event is right for you if you are interested in creating or transforming highly functioning, agile and innovative teams based on strong foundations of psychological safety.

Description                                  

Independent Schools Victoria has partnered with leading experts, LeaderFactor, to access the internationally acclaimed The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™ course led by Dr Timothy R. Clark.

Psychological safety is a social condition in which human beings feel:

•  included

• safe to learn

• safe to contribute

• safe to challenge the status quo - all without fear of being embarrassed, marginalized, or punished in some way

The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™ are a universal pattern that reflects the natural progression of human needs in social settings. When teams, organisations, and social units of all kinds progress through the four stages, they create deeply inclusive environments embracing diversity, accelerating learning, increasing contribution, and stimulating innovation. This also assists in employee retention.

In this course, you will cut straight to the heart of psychological safety and create a personalised action plan to apply your learning.

Credentials like this will increasingly become a requirement for managers and leaders who must create high levels of psychological safety in their teams and organisations to continue to thrive.

‘I wholeheartedly recommend the certification in LeaderFactor’s 4 Stages of Psychological Safety. It is a perfect tool for our particular time because it enables a team, or a department to identify and address the obstacles to helping employees feel included at work. It is straightforward and easy to understand. Leaders, managers and employees can grasp the insights right away. You can actually do something about helping feel included, not just know more about it. I recommend the certification process. It’s one of the most pragmatic and value added opportunities you’ll find to invest in creating a workplace where innovation can become more of the norm and not just an occasional breakthrough.’

– Brent Chesney, Sr. Organizational Development Consultant
