Embedding Psychological Safety

Free

About the session: 

With the ongoing pressures working in health and social care, being compassionate at work is more important than ever. Yet this can be easier said than done. 

Many of us are emotionally and physically drained. We’re worried about the wellbeing of our colleagues and ourselves. Many of our teams are experiencing chronic stress. The pressures on our services are immense. And as human beings, a lot of us are far more fragile than usual. 

Under such pressures, we need human connection and mutual support more than ever. And yet under such stress, compassion and tolerance can quickly evaporate. Despite all our best intentions, creating and leading inclusive, compassionate cultures in the current context is courageous, challenging work. 

This interactive masterclass offers you a safe learning space to: 

  • – Consider how we create and sustain a climate of psychological safety and embed a sense of connection amongst our colleagues 
  • – Understand why and how compassion can wane or feel difficult in the current context 
  • – Apply practical tools to enhance your own compassionate leadership practice 
  • – Explore how to model inclusive, compassionate leadership, even when the pressure is on 
  • – Develop strategies for self-compassion

You will be encouraged to consider thought-provoking ideas, share views, discuss issues with colleagues, reflect on your own practice, apply your learning to your own context and ask any questions you have.
