Build teams that feel safe to speak up, share ideas and do their best work.
The Six Dimensions of Psychological Safety Framework
Our programs are underpinned by Sonali Dsilva’s Six Dimensions of Psychological Safety Framework and its related self-assessment. This practical and powerful Framework gives leaders a clear roadmap. It helps to strengthen team safety and raise inclusion and trust.
It addresses psychological safety at every level of team engagement — Personal, Interpersonal and Cultural — by breaking these down into six everyday dimensions that leaders can recognise and act on.
Identity Expression
Learning Permission
Respectful Conflict
Honest Dialogue
Shared Confidence
Culture Building
This framework helps leaders encourage speaking up, reduce fear, build respect and create teams where people feel confident to contribute, collaborate and perform at their best.

Why Psychological Safety Matters
Psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams. When people feel safe to contribute, ask questions and learn from mistakes, collaboration and communication become easier, and team outcomes improve.
In unsafe teams, people hold back—not because they lack ideas or motivation—but because they worry about social judgement. This creates wellbeing risks, loss of productivity and lowers people’s initiative and creativity at work.
Our workshops enable a safer team environment where people feel supported to learn, grow and bring their best talents to work.
