  • Does Your Startup Understand Psychological Safety & How to Foster it?
    2022/11/15

    How do you know whether your startup has an accurate understanding of what exactly psychological safety is; why it’s so important; & then, how to foster it, effectively?

    In her book, Teaming, Harvard Business School professor & researcher, Amy Edmondson describes psychological safety as the shared belief among team members that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. Noting that this involves, but goes beyond, interpersonal trust, Edmondson explains that it is characterized by a team climate of interpersonal trust & mutual respect, where people are comfortable being themselves. Edmondson describes psychological safety as a felt-sense of whether an environment is safe (e.g., not experiencing micro-aggressions or unconscious bias, having access to opportunities & advancements, feeling welcomed in the hybrid mix of socio-professional gatherings, believing work & contributions are valued). She indicates that when psychological safety is present the wellbeing & well-doing climate is enhanced: people feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, asking for help, & speaking up to challenge the status quo or improve processes. It includes a necessarily strong core of trust; & also requires compassion (compassion = empathy + action).

    Startup therapist, Lisa Birnbaum; & startup coach, Marisa Birnbaum, have seen the understanding of psychological safety & the fostering of it, vary significantly between startups. During this episode, Lisa & Marisa, talk through exactly what psychological safety looks like & sounds like in the context of your startup; why psychological safety is so important for the success of your startup; as well as, how to effectively create, build, & cultivate psychological safety, in an ongoing way, within your startup.

  • Reconnecting the Disconnect: One Startup’s Journey Toward a Mentally Healthy Culture
    2022/10/05

    Join startup therapist, coach, & consultant, Lisa Birnbaum, for the tenth episode of Lisa & Marisa Birnbaum’s weekly, startup mental health podcast featuring easily digestible lessons, skills, & stories, about what it takes to develop, build, & sustain a mentally healthy startup culture. Today’s episode is an inside look at a recent consulting project with an EdTech Startup to assess the culture the co-founders built & to talk through the perks that were added, in effort to support their employees’ wellbeing. After meeting with the co-founders, and all of their employees, it was clear there was a big disconnect between the co-founders’ & the exec. teams’ view of their company’s culture & everyone else’s. Listen-in on exactly where the disconnect was & hear what recommendations were given, so that – regardless of whether you are a startup founder yourself, or are on the exec. team, or are a startup employee – you can start applying these recommendations to your own situation. Tune-in & look forward to appreciating that we are all, ‘Wired to Connect’. Click or tap that ‘play’ button!
