162 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #26: How To Make People Feel Safe
Description
You tell your team your door is always open, but still … nobody walks through. I’ve been thinking about why that is. Why people don’t always feel comfortable stepping forward, even when you genuinely want to hear from them.
It reminded me of a conversation I had with the brilliant leadership coach Dr Francoise Orlov. She talked about what it means to really create psychological safety. Not just saying the right words, but stepping out to meet your people where they are. Listening, asking thoughtful questions, showing you care.
It made me reflect on how we show up as leaders - not just inviting people in, but creating the kind of environment where they want to speak up.
Sometimes the most powerful step is not waiting … it’s reaching out first.
Have a good week!
