When I was growing up and LOVED fantasy / sci-fi, it was derided as being geeky.

But now!!! Funny how things change

Super grateful to @samcrome.bsky.social for so freely staring his work - used some of his Research Ed slides to deliver Aspiring Middle Leaders CPD last week. Also shared the first slide with SLT today as we discussed leadership styles and values

Thank you Sam!

Psychological Safety is a vital element of team culture, supported by decades of empirical research.

But is the concept surrounded by misconceptions? Has the meaning mutated?

And what next?

New Blog Post - 2 parter! Maybe 3.

Psychological Safety - a potential game changer for teams, supported by decades of robust research.

But is the concept now surrounded by misconceptions...has the meaning mutated?

So excited to be finalising a two part blog post on the potential mutations and misconceptions of psychological safety that are emerging

Your homework is to read my summary of Psych Safety, from 2022!

Having lead whole-school assemblies this month at a secondary school (1500 people) and then a primary school (400), I can confirm that the primary made me much more nervous!

Tailoring the message for students aged 4-11 was so tricky. Again, primary colleagues, respect!

So delighted to receive this today, well done @xpateducator.bsky.social!

And yes I somehow made the cut and feature in this brilliant guide - thanks Jamie!
