Questions for personal reflection & journaling
- What specific moments in your life have shaped your relationship with failure, and how might these experiences be limiting your growth today? Consider the learning opportunities you might be missing by avoiding certain risks.
- What elements create psychological safety for you in your most comfortable environments, and how might you recreate these conditions in teams you lead or participate in?
- How do you typically respond when someone shares a mistake or failure with you, and what would a more curiosity-driven response look like in practice?
- What language patterns do you use when addressing setbacks with others, and how might you better separate events (failures, mistakes, losses) from a person's identity or worth?
- What specific questions could you introduce in your next team meeting to invite diverse perspectives, and how might these questions shift your team's dynamic toward greater psychological safety?
