While it is a state of feeling supported and accepted and a place where mistakes are treated as opportunities to learn\, it isn’t free of accountability or discomfort. This interactive session will outline the benefits of a psychologically safe organization and will offer specific strategies that can be used to address common challenges and create an internal culture of psychological safety that fosters EDI growth. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n What You’ll Take Away\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Who Should Join\n \n\n \n \n \n \n Presenter\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n What You'll Take Away \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \nDefine psychological safety in relation to the EDI journey\nHow organizations can create and support a psychologically safe environment\nWhat active practices agencies can implement to promote psychological safety\nWhy psychological safety is difficult in action yet necessary on the EDI journey\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Who Should Join \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \nOrganization staff\nPublic policy staff\nCommunity advocates\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n Presenter \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n \n Senior Program Manager\, Alliance-COA \n \n Biography\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Romero Davis\n Senior Program Manager\, Alliance-COA \n \n Romero Davis brings more than 20 years of experience in the social sector to his work at the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities-Council on Accreditation (Alliance-COA)\, where he serves as the senior program manager at Alliance-COA.
