SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Psychological Safety or Psychological Bravery?
DESCRIPTION:Our Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace series is a global platform dedicated to fostering open conversations and learning around diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) in workplaces and communities worldwide. Since 2020\, these monthly sessions have brought together professionals\, leaders\, and advocates from across the globe to explore best practices\, share personal experiences\, and discuss actionable strategies for creating more inclusive environments. These free\, virtual sessions serve as a space for collective growth\, critical reflection\, and meaningful dialogue on DEI’s evolving role in society. \n—————————————————————– \nOur topic for May is Psychological Safety or Psychological Bravery? \nPsychological safety has become a buzzword in organizations — often equated with kindness\, comfort\, and open dialogue. But what happens when “safety” is mistaken for harmony at the expense of truth? Or when it’s used to avoid difficult conversations rather than engage with them? \nThis session will explore the evolving conversation around psychological safety — not to discard its value\, but to interrogate its limitations and reimagine its role in brave\, courageous leadership. \nWe’ll explore how psychological bravery asks something more. It builds upon the foundation of safety but goes further — allowing individuals to challenge the status quo\, take bold actions\, give and receive honest feedback\, speak up even when it’s uncomfortable\, and drive innovation\, even in uncertain or high-stakes situations. In cultures striving for inclusion\, justice\, and equity\, bravery isn’t optional. It’s essential. \nJoin our speakers Chisom Udeze\, Economist\, Strategist\, Investor & Executive Director of Diversify\, Tendai Angela Jambga-Rokkones\, Yoga Teacher\, Wellness Curator & International Speaker\, Christopher Vasquez Hovind\, Inclusion & Diversity Trainee at SpareBank 1 North Norway\, and Iva Ogrizovic\, Director at Diversify and People & Culture Partner at Diversify Consult\, as we unpack: \n\nWhy psychological safety alone may no longer be enough\nHow it can unintentionally stifle growth when misapplied\nWhat psychological bravery looks like in practice\, and who models it\nHow to build cultures that support both safety and courage\n\nThis conversation will invite leaders\, teams\, and changemakers to reflect deeply: Are we building environments that foster courage — or comfort that avoids it? \nJoin us for this digital discussion on May 28\, 2025 at 13.00 CEST by RSVP-ing below.\n\n \nSpeakers: \nChisom Udeze (She/Her)\, Economist\, Strategist & Executive Director of Diversify \nChisom is an accomplished Economist\, Strategist\, Investor\, and Founder with nearly two decades of experience leading impact-driven companies and actioning societal change.
