In a world full of loud opinions, tearing people down, judging, and polarization...
It doesn't always exactly feel "safe" to contribute your thoughts and ideas. I've held myself back many times on a comment, or speaking up with an idea because I didn't feel safe sharing my viewpoint or belief.
You can choose to do things differently.
You can choose to be a business owner who helps to create and foster a sense of psychological safety throughout your marketing and messaging.
In this episode, we get into 5 ways to increase psychological safety in your marketing and business, plus why it matters not only for building trust, but also to be the kind of person people want to return to time and time again!
- Defining "psychological safety"
- Why it matters in our messaging and marketing
- How to use inclusive and non-judgmental language
- Validating struggles and challenges
- Inviting vs. demanding
- Transparency in intentions
- Encouragement over manipulation
- And more!

Definition: Psychological safety is a feeling that you won’t be punished, judged, or shamed when you show up honestly. When you take risks, when you make a mistake, or share opinions, thoughts, ideas, or when you ask for help. Even when you might challenge the status quo, you can still do so without worrying you’ll be attacked or torn down.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
