To be emotionally agile means we still recognize and have hard feelings. Feeling powerless can be paralyzing. Self-compassion serves as a bridge to step out of shame and back into the fuller perspective of our hidden wholeness and pathways forward.
Simple questions are powerful questions because they are open-ended and therefore invite introspection. They generally begin with what or how, and can not be answered with a yes or no. They lead to greater exploration and internal digging. They lead to insights and possibilities. They invite others to look within or to the future.
When we are in an environment of psychological safety, we are empowered to create a reciprocal commitment by modeling our own vulnerability through a fail-forward communication exchange. And it is entirely refreshing!
To create cultures of psychological safety, we need to model the way with our own curiosity and even cluelessness to inspire inclusion and innovation in others.
From a tech giant like Google to team mates to dogs, Psychological Safety is at the core of all our success and is the only way to move positive change forward.
