He also notes that awareness around psychological safety is often low, and a tool like this can help increase awareness, emphasizing that psychological safety is only part of the equation for high-performing teams, and there is an important relationship between psychological safety and performance.

Brilliant and expansive to say the least

Being a fan of podcasts and listening to many of them over the years, Expansive definitely offers some different perspectives on every day topics that are relevant to all of us. The hosts share practical insights and knowledge on topics varying from how to create the right environment and network, to managing our mindset when it comes to finances, to strategies on how to further grow, expand and continue growing on personal and professional levels. Highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to expand their mindset and their world.
