About this video

Description

Creating, sharing and exchanging ideas is the foundation of innovation. However, these actions can be scary. The human element of innovation can be a roadblock. How do you create the conditions that enable a free flow of ideas for innovation? Psychological safety is the foundation for innovation; it's also the most important factor for effective and successful teams (according to Project Aristotle, Google's two-year research study on 180 teams.) However it's not just important for teams. It's also important for yourself too. To have a psychologically safe environment, you need it both internally and externally. In this experiential workshop, participants will learn what it takes to cultivate a healthy environment that empowers courageous innovation. Participants will be equipped with tools to develop this for themselves and others.
