SUMMARY:Power Hour: Communication\, Active Listening + Psychological Safety
DESCRIPTION:During this session\, we’ll explore why most teams aren’t truly communicating\, they’re presenting\, filtering\, and saying what leaders want to hear instead of what they need to hear. We’ll break down how to create psychological safety so individuals feel empowered to speak honestly without fear of judgment\, and how leaders can intentionally set that tone through vulnerability\, openness\, and removing hierarchy.\nThrough a real-world example\, we’ll bring to life what active listening actually looks like in practice and how it can transform team dynamics\, leading to stronger ownership\, better ideas\, and faster decision-making. You’ll leave with practical\, actionable tools to foster more honest dialogue and build a culture where people feel heard\, valued\, and empowered to contribute. \nRegister for the Zoom
