Speak Up! Building Psychological Safety Through Meaningful Dialogue. (fer fram á ensku)

Ath. erindið fer fram á ensku.

Culture isn’t crafted in strategy papers or off-sites — it’s created in the everyday exchanges between leaders and their teams.

This session explores how developmental conversations are the engine of cultural change, transforming safety from a policy into a lived experience.

Dr. Tim Baker unpacks the link between psychological safety and performance, showing leaders how the micro-moments of conversation — listening, asking, acknowledging, challenging — determine whether people speak up, share ideas, or stay silent.

Through stories, evidence, and practical tools, participants will discover how to foster trust, honesty, and growth in every interaction.

Because culture doesn’t live in posters — it lives in conversations.

 Five Key Takeaways

1. Understand the Science of Safety
   Learn how psychological safety works at a neurological and emotional level — and why fear shuts down learning, creativity, and accountability.
2. Identify Your Conversation Impact
   Recognise how your tone, timing, and intent signal either safety or threat — and how to recalibrate your approach to invite openness.
3. Use the Five Conversations Framework
   Discover how to embed safety through structured dialogue — from trust-building “Show-Up” conversations to performance “Lift-Up” dialogues.
4. Transform Micro-Moments into Culture Builders
   Master the art of everyday leadership — turning brief interactions into powerful reinforcements of inclusion, respect, and partnership.
5. Create a Safe-to-Stretch Environment
   Develop practical habits that make people feel safe enough to take risks, challenge ideas, and grow — the real hallmarks of a high-performing team.
