Welcome to Got PS? a podcast dedicated to all things psychological safety. Why psychological safety? Because we've all been there, haven't we? You've been in a team where it was just so awkward and uncomfortable and you didn't want to say anything. And you've probably also been on teams that just felt like family and teams in between the two. What's the difference? It's all about how much psychological safety each team has. And this podcast is our attempt to help you get from uncomfortable to family. If you wanna tackle this tough topic with a bit of humor and a whole lot of honesty, join us two longtime coworkers and friends and hit the 📍 subscribe button.
