Summary

In this episode, we explore what psychological safety actually looks like in practice and why so many leaders unintentionally create environments where people stay silent, disconnected, or afraid to take risks. We unpack the difference between being “nice” and creating true trust, accountability, and emotional safety within teams. Our Guest today is Jenna Sirucek.
