Join us for an engaging lunchtime conversation as Socitm’s learning programme manager, Aidan Matthews, is joined by leadership and inclusion specialist, Feras Giorgio Nasser (Da Vinci’s Workshop), to explore three of the most important ingredients of high-performing teams: psychological safety, healthy conflict, and trust.
Research consistently shows that teams perform at their best when people feel safe to contribute ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from mistakes. Yet many organisations struggle to create environments where honest conversations can take place without fear. Developing trust and encouraging constructive disagreement are essential leadership skills in today’s complex and rapidly changing workplace.
In this interactive session, Aidan and Feras will discuss:
- What psychological safety really means (and what it doesn’t)
- Why conflict is not the enemy of collaboration
- How trust is built, maintained, and sometimes lost
- Practical techniques leaders can use to encourage open dialogue
- Creating team cultures where challenge, learning and innovation can thrive
Feras brings extensive experience in leadership, management, inclusion and organisational psychology, with more than 25 years’ experience helping leaders and teams improve performance through stronger relationships and better conversations.
Whether you lead a team, influence stakeholders, or simply want to create stronger working relationships, this informal lunchtime session will provide practical insights and ideas that you can immediately apply in your own workplace.
Who should attend?
Team members, managers, aspiring leaders, programme and project professionals, HR and organisational development practitioners, and anyone interested in building more collaborative and effective teams.
Book your place and bring your questions for what promises to be a thought-provoking discussion.
