Why Is Psychological Safety Important In An Organization? (4 Building Blocks)

[@susanw5823]

Loved the question of the day! Something I know really well is when and how to add humor to stressful situations at work. I'm definitely not a comedian :) but I always seem to be able to find something that is mundane yet funny that puts everyone at ease and helps them to relax. Thanks for providing these videos! I look forward to them each week!

Susan, I love hearing this! That is suchhhhh a gift. Especially being able to teleport joy through Zoom is needed now more than ever! Glad you are loving the videos. Thanks for "liking" and commenting as well. I love when a "one-way" communication because a bit of a conversation.

Something I know really well is how to bring people "in" during my meetings. I use humor (love Susan Willmann's comment below) and stories to help model vulnerability. This allows people to say "wow...she did that too? me too!" while offering how to reflect and grow from them in a positive way.

Humor is pure medicine when it comes to the psychological health of your group!

Chad, thanks so much for breaking this topic down so even a layperson like me can understand it.

[@chad.littlefield]

Ha, I imagine you aren't giving yourself enough credit, but I'm glad this was both useful and timely for you!

You ask a challenging question. Going to school taught me how little I know and that I must remain a student of life for all of my life. However, I know how to find joy. Thank you for this upload and your content! Much appreciated

Great video, Chad! For this purpose, I'd say that I'm really great at proof reading/spelling and punctuation.

[@chad.littlefield]

Thanks for sharing, David! Did you catch any typos in the video? 😛

I think your content is great! I am learning so much. Thank you. One thing I excel in is finding resources, like yours, to share with others.

This is great! It aligns with a lot of social-belonging research I've been diving into! Thanks for the Re:Work resource!

[@chad.littlefield]

Julia, knowing you, you would do a deep dive into the research! I love it. So good to see your name pop up here. Perhaps time for a catchup too. I'd love to hear how things in your slice of the higher ed universe are going!

You might consider the term "entry level" or "front line" rather than minimum wage. Just a thought.
