Reclaiming Psychological Safety: How to Really Make It Safe for Candid Dialogue

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 | 11:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. MDT

About This Free Webinar

The concept of psychological safety has infiltrated the workplace—but somewhere along the way, we’ve confused safety with comfort or agreement. Leaders avoid accountability conversations for fear of causing offense, while employees interpret uncomfortable feedback or disagreement as harmful personal attacks.

So how can leaders create cultures where people feel respected and supported while still holding honest conversations, addressing performance issues, and maintaining high standards?

Join Crucial Conversations coauthor Emily Gregory to gain practical skills for navigating emotionally charged conversations without sacrificing candor or connection. You’ll explore how to create genuine psychological safety where people can speak openly, hear difficult truths, and work through disagreement productively.

What You’ll Learn

  • How the term “psychological safety” has become weaponized—and what it really means
  • How to make dialogue and feedback safe while benefiting both employees AND the organization
  • Practical skills that build trust and change behavior
