Oof this brought me back to rooms where I've felt intimidated, unseen, unheard -- especially earlier in my career, but even now as a leader/manager. Those environments are far too pervasive, and I'm so grateful for this post (and also a challenge to the term "psychological safety"...there has to be something better?). Dismissal, whether conscious or unconscious, is truly the best way to undermine talented people and fresh perspective/innovation.
Love this one so much! I agree ENTIRELY about the importance of psychological safety in the workplace (especially in creative fields!), but also at home. We need to be creating environments where people around us feel supported to say what they think! Also agree with you on the idea of this needing a new name- it sounds so clinical. Let's come up with one!!

Amen to this! These environments are everywhere -- and I'm just so sick of it. Big hugs.

Amazing! Yes, let's do this together! You tell me when/how, and I'm there!
