How to DESTROY Psychological Safety
Oh sure, there's plenty of speakers and sources spruiking how to build "psychological safety" in your organisation - but maybe you're looking to find your edge through wreaking havoc, setting your organisation against itself, and rising through the resulting chaos! MWA HA HA HA HA HA
This presentation will walk you through how to maximise damage at entry-level, how to set toxic examples as a senior, and how to project terror once you work your way into management. Along the way there will be references to a variety of sources and frameworks used for inspecting organisational alignment and the needs of teams and individuals; we shall be subverting these techniques to serve your nefarious plots!
Outline/Structure of the Talk
- Damaging your team - your first day on the job
- Damaging upwards - moving up in the world

Please don't actually use what you learn here for evil.

40 Mins
Presentation
Beginner
Communication is a core skill. It is at the heart of all our interpersonal relationships with family, friends and work. It is something we instinctively learn from birth, and continue for the rest of out lives. Effective communication unlocks better relationships, and dramatically improves effectiveness, adaptability, innovation, competitiveness and profitability.
We are inherently bad at communication.
This talk explores the various ways in which we fail to communication effectively, including:
- Unconscious assumptions and cognitive biases
- Mismatches between individual and group goals (the Unilateral Control Model)
- Hiding information due preserve control or minimise losses
It's not all lost, though! There are a number of techniques and skills we can use to communicate more effectively, including the Mutual Learning Model and Non-Violent Communication (NVC).
At the end of this talk, you will understand the causes of ineffective communication, along with different models for better and more effective communication. The practice is up to you!
