Recording from Sept 14, 2021 Presented by Karyn Ross, Founder, CEO, President at The Love and Kindness Foundation Jessica House, Founder at LightHouse Counselling and Wellness I’m sure you’ve heard about the 5S’s in Lean. Doing 5S helps people stay physically safe and allows problems to be easily seen. But what about psychological safety? If you want the people in your organization to learn, improve and care for your customers, you need to take care of their psychological safety just as much as you care for their physical safety. That’s why Karyn Ross and Jessica House have created the 5Cs of psychological safety. During this interactive session, you will learn about each of the 5C’s and how you and your organization can begin practicing them immediately so that you can optimize learning, growth, innovation, and improvement. Everyone will receive a copy of the 5Cs document following the session. Karyn Ross Karyn is on a mission to Help People Create a Better, Kinder World.
