Interested to bring the Safety First: Empowering Courageous Innovation Workshop to your organization?

If you enjoyed the Safety First: Empowering Courageous Innovation workshop, we offer this workshop in two configurations: 60 min and 90 min sessions. Custom-length workshops can also be provided as well.

  • The 60 minute experience provides an impactful experiential learning experience in a shorter format.
  • The 90 minute experience goes the deepest and provides a richer experience with more tools. It also allows for longer conversations.

Key Takeaways:

  • Participants will learn what psychological safety is and isn’t and why it’s so foundational for innovation.
  • Participants will learn the challenges and roadblocks that prevent psychological safety in innovation.
  • Participants will gain tools to create a healthy environment to empower courageous innovation for themselves and for others.

Testimonials:

This workshop almost brought me to tears. I’ve never felt smaller… in my current company. And I didn’t realize, that I wasn’t the only person who feels like this; that we all go through the same experiences… You’ve turned this pain into joy… and it’s so contagious! I can’t wait to try out these tools in my company!

Leo gave us excellent tools for creating a safe space. He took us on a nice journey through the 90-minute session. I did not want to leave!

CPSI 2022 Participant

It was super engaging and interactive. Loved the tools. Super useful for my work. Your use of story to anchor your content was fantastic. Literally the best I saw at CPSI 2022.

S. Busse ... Story Strategist

It had an awesome structure and super clear concepts. The empathy and the importance of a safe environment was mind blowing!

Director Digital Disruption, Nadro

Super inspired! Will focus on using encouraging words with others who are less confident, and will also focus on using encouraging words with myself when others are shutting my ideas down.

Digital Literacy Exchange Program Facilitator, YMCA of Greater Vancouver

I thought it was a really good workshop. Leo was a terrific facilitator. I really liked his thought on limiting beliefs... imposter syndrome is real and stressful!
