You...

Have a good culture. A great one, even. But something is missing. Your employees aren’t bringing their full selves to work. You don’t have access to the full range of creativity, productivity, and trust that comes from open communication.

 

We...

Work with you to create a culture of psychological safety. Turn truth into trust, and conflict into connection. Make it safe for you and your team to talk about problems, and to be honest about what’s going on, personally and professionally.

Why is this important?

 

Performance

 

Skills that matter: Google’s Project Aristotle studied 180 teams over 2 years. They found that the strongest teams are emotionally intelligent, have high psychological safety, and develop a unified sense of purpose. These are skills we teach.

Well-being

 

Employee health: When employees don’t connect with each other beyond surface-level work interactions, it can cause loneliness and burnout.
The former surgeon general reminds us that 50% of CEOs report feeling lonely, and the health impact of loneliness is similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

 

Profits

 

The bottom line: If employees aren't connecting, it can damage job satisfaction, and lower both performance and retention.
In one study reported by Harvard Business Review, a 2.5% increase in a hotel manager's trust score could be expected to increase profitability by $250,000 per year per hotel. Trust matters.
