As a leader, creating psychological safety means approaching situations as a collaborator, welcoming curiosity, avoiding blame, being self-aware, giving employees a voice and encouraging moderate risk-taking.

Really though, what lays the foundation for trust is warmth. In fact, the American psychologist Oscar Ybarra found that words related to warmth are processed faster than words related to competence. How can we practice warmth? By paying attention and listening, showing empathy, creating an open and inclusive environment, and putti...ng trust in others. #trustintheworkplace #leadershiptips #leadwithpresence https://bit.ly/2zHuUZQ

Right now, we're all facing significant psychological stress. Dr. Brené Brown, in Dare to Lead, says there are three steps to learning to rise in the face of uncertainty: the reckoning, the rumble and the revolution. As leaders, as we move through these stages, we develop our own resiliency and endurance skills, and we model resilient behaviours for our communities and families.

Up on the blog: The Power of Your Personal Brand. Personal brand matters, especially as business continues to go digital. Here are three strategies to help you define and cultivate a strong, authentic personal brand: 1) Network outside your organization, not just inside. Cultivate a broader network that increases your options.... 2) Map out a clear elevator pitch that condenses your experience and value to shape peoples perceptions about you: dont expect people to interpret your personal brand on their own. 3) Publicize your ideas to a wide audience. Do you have any ideas to add to this list? Head to https://www.corporateclassinc.com//14/power-personal-brand/ to read the full article.

Right now, in the face of Covid-19, everyone is dealing with their own unique challenges. And these challenges can make us feel emotionally triggered. Rather than negatively judging yourself or resisting your feelings, instead try to identify your emotions and lean into them. Some helpful questions to ask yourself are:... >> What specific emotional triggers are making me feel vulnerable today? >> Why might this be? >> Whats one thing I can do today to show myself kindness and compassion? >> How can I help my team practice this too? Though each of our experiences are unique, were all in this together. We will get through this together. #embraceyourvulnerabilities #leadwithcompassion #knowyouremotionaltriggers #leadingthroughcovid19 #crisisleadership
