1. Co-creating Peace Episode #116 – "Psychological Safety, Peace & Human Understanding" Kathleen Oweegon 30:41

I’ve spoken often on this show about how if we want to truly be heard, we have to help others feel safe hearing us. Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Stephan Wiedner, a psychological safety expert. Stephan brings us deeper insights into the importance of psychological safety and the myriad of ways it can be used to foster peace and mutual understanding.

Highlights you won’t want to miss include:

  • Psychological Safety and its importance in team dynamics 
  • Tools for fostering Psychological Safety (curiosity, open-ended questions, active listening) 
  • Challenges in maintaining Psychological Safety 
  • Empathy and self-referencing messages in creating Psychological Safety
