Psychological safety in the workplace matters now more than ever. In uncertain times—be they economic, political, or social—we need our colleagues and staff members to feel they can share their ideas, ask for help, or offer a divergent perspective without fear of negative ramifications. Although we know that psychological safety is essential, sustaining it through real-world challenges can be difficult. That’s where this book comes in. 

The Psychological Safety Playbook for Changemakers builds on the foundations of the first Playbook, offering deeper insights, practical tools, and new stories for creating lasting change. In the book you’ll learn how to move through resistance, rebuild psychological safety when it has been broken, and “walk the talk”. Whether you’re a team leader, facilitator, or passionate individual working to shift culture, this Playbook helps you build momentum in driving sustainable change. 

Culture change happens through small, consistent actions that ripple across teams and organizations. This Playbook is your companion for that journey—helping you stay the course, inspire others, and create the conditions where everyone can do their best, most creative work in these increasingly challenging times. 

A passionate and accessible guide to humanizing the workplace.”
