No Bubblewrap Please

Somewhere along the way, psychological safety became one of those phrases everyone nods at... while secretly wondering what it actually looks like.

Spoiler alert: it isn't agreeing with everyone, avoiding difficult conversations or handing out gold stars for simply turning up.

Real psychological safety is knowing you can ask the "stupid" question, admit you've made a mistake or challenge an idea without wondering if your career just ended.

Imagine a meeting where people actually say what they're thinking instead of performing the corporate equivalent of interpretive dance around the issue.

That's where innovation happens.

That's where trust grows.

That's where high-performing teams are built.

The irony? Creating psychological safety often starts with leaders being willing to say, "I don't know."

Turns out, vulnerability is a stronger leadership strategy than pretending to have all the answers.

If psychological safety in your organisation is still more buzzword than behaviour, it might be time for a different conversation.
