Half Day | Max. 20 Participants
Workshop Outcomes
- Develop a nuanced, evidence-based understanding of psychological safety, its neurological foundations, and its relationship to individual wellbeing, team performance, and organisational culture
- Build self-awareness of personal threat and safety responses — including how stress, nervous system states, and past experiences shape the ability to speak up, contribute, and connect at work
- Demonstrate a repertoire of practical strategies for actively contributing to psychological safety — including navigating difficult conversations, responding to conflict, and supporting colleagues across diverse team situations
Topics Covered
- The neuroscience of psychological safety — how the brain continuously scans for threat or safety in social environments, and how this shapes communication, risk-taking, and team behaviour
- Personal patterns and nervous system awareness — understanding individual stress and threat responses, and developing somatic awareness as a tool for self-regulation in challenging workplace moments
- Building psychological safety from any seat — evidence-based strategies for everyday workplace interactions, courageous conversations, and actively contributing to a culture of trust and inclusion

Overview
Psychological safety is not created by leaders alone — it is co-created by every member of a team through thousands of small, everyday interactions.
When employees understand the neuroscience behind why speaking up feels risky, and develop practical skills for navigating those moments, teams become measurably more effective, innovative, and resilient.
This half-day workshop gives all employees a deep, practical understanding of psychological safety and their active role in shaping it. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, and somatic awareness, participants develop insight into their own threat and safety responses — and build a practical toolkit for contributing to healthier, higher-performing team environments. Suitable for general office-based teams at any level, this workshop complements manager-focused psychological safety training and broader culture, wellbeing, and psychosocial risk programs. Structured around guided practice, reflection, and group discussion, it builds genuine capability rather than passive awareness.

Facilitator
About the facilitator
Caroline Crosbie works at the intersection of neuroscience, performance, and workplace wellbeing — helping individuals and teams in demanding environments perform sustainably, regulate effectively, and work together well.
With over 30 years of experience and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Ireland, Caroline brings a rigorous evidence base to everything she delivers. Her work draws on sleep science, nervous system regulation, and the psychology of team dynamics — translated into practical tools that work in real workplaces, not just training rooms.
She works primarily with leaders, managers, and teams in government and professional services — environments where the pressure to perform is high, the margin for error is low, and the human cost of getting it wrong compounds quietly over time.
Caroline's programmes are part of the Sustainable Performance Series — a suite of evidence-based workshops designed for organisations that take performance seriously and understand that sustaining it requires more than resilience training.
Key Expertise
- Psychological safety and team effectiveness
- Stress, anxiety and nervous system regulation
- Sleep science and work performance
- Burnout prevention and sustainable performance
- Emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness
Industry Focus
- Government and public sector
- Local government
- Health and community services
- Professional services
- Mining and resources
