Teams with high psychological safety have been shown to perform better. They feel confident enough to address mistakes, share out-of-the-box ideas, and learn from one another. In this one-day training, you’ll learn what psychological safety entails and how to foster it in your team. Using practical tools and methods, you’ll take the first steps toward creating a culture where people can perform at their best.

Who is this training for?

Managers, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, and anyone who wants to empower teams to perform at their best. Especially valuable for environments with high pressure to innovate.

  • What psychological safety really means
  • How to assess the current state of your team
  • Specific strategies for increasing psychological safety

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about psychological safety for teams

I’m not a manager. Is this training still right for me?

Absolutely! This training is designed for anyone who wants to improve teamwork, such as Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, or even experienced team members. You’ll learn methods you can apply, even without disciplinary authority, to create a safer and more productive environment.

Do I need prior knowledge of psychology or agile methods?

No, no specific prior knowledge is required. We’ll start with the basics of psychological safety and build from there. More important than prior knowledge is your curiosity and your desire to positively change the dynamics within your team.

Is the training more theoretical, or does it also include a significant practical component?

This training is highly practical. In addition to the theoretical foundations, we place great emphasis on interactive exercises, case studies, and direct group discussion. You’ll leave the session with concrete tools that you can apply immediately within your team.

The training mentions that psychological safety can be “measured.” How does that work?

We’ll introduce you to validated and straightforward methods for assessing the current level of psychological safety in your team, for example through targeted surveys and observation techniques. You’ll learn how to interpret the results and use them as a starting point for targeted improvements.

Do you also offer this training as an in-house workshop for our entire team?

Yes, we’d be happy to! An in-house training session is ideal for working directly with the entire team on psychological safety and addressing specific challenges. Just contact us to discuss the details and tailor the training to your specific needs.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes, all participants will receive a certificate of completion upon successful completion of the training. This certificate confirms your newly acquired knowledge of the principles and methods for fostering psychological safety in teams.

Do you have an idea or a tricky UX problem?

We support you from strategy and agile product development all the way to training your team.
