Building Trust and Psychological Safety: Leading at the Edge

The landscape for leadership has changed. It is no longer enough to be smart, experienced, and committed. Leadership needs to be a transformative experience that starts with leading the self. The world, with all of its uncertainty, risk, and loss, needs leaders who can provide psychological safety in the face of dangers and threats. 

Psychological safety begins with the “person effect”  you cast out into the world. Leaders who are unaware of their “person effect” have a liability and can find it incredibly difficult to stimulate high performance. However, those who intentionally create psychological safety are able to foster the creativity and innovation necessary to thrive. 

Drawing on studies of high performance leadership from the worlds of sports, business, medicine, music, theater, military, and hostage negotiation, this workshop invites participants to synthesize this knowledge and apply it to the contexts in which they live and lead. More specifically, participants will develop and learn:

• How their own life experiences have shaped their leadership.
• The cycle of bonding and its importance to leadership.
• How to lead from the mind’s eye and not fall hostage to anyone.
• How to build trust through secure base leadership.
• The power of an interaction and the use of words.
• Conflict resolution mindsets and strategies. 
• How to manage emotions and stay present and grounded.

A transformative experience on leading self, others, and organizations. This is a week-long journey into the roots of your leadership strengths and an exploration of your leadership talents. This workshop will offer cutting-edge theory, experiential learning, and opportunities to do personal work that can help you overcome barriers to becoming a true leader..
