Why Coaching?

Coaches work with their clients at the level of conscious as they move towards unconscious
competence.

What is Psychological Safety Inclusion (PSI)?
Psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes and that the team is safe in interpersonal risk taking.
Inclusion occurs when a group of diverse people (e.g. of different ages, cultural backgrounds, genders) feel valued and respected, have access to opportunities and resources and can contribute their perspectives and talents to improve their organization.
Why do it?
The PSI measures team members’ sense of Psychological Safety and Inclusivity within their team in a confidential and anonymous way. The data is uploaded to an interactive dashboard for use by the team members and leaders to track progress. This can be done at a frequency right for the team, e.g. quarterly.
Organizations who measure the psychological safety profile of their teams, to identify and then respond risk factors, will remain ahead of the curve. Showing support, the mental health and wellbeing of your staff will give your organization the competitive advantage.
