I really want to create an environment in my EA groups that’s high in what is labelled “psychological safety” here, but it’s hard to make this felt known to others, especially in larger groups. The best I’ve got is to just explicitly state the kind of environment I would like to create, but I feel like there’s more I could do. Any suggestions?
Yep, expectation-setting like that is super valuable.
I’ve also written a short facilitation handbook a couple months ago. It’s useful for meetups, workshops, and basically any other kind of work with groups. Optimizing for psychological safety is implicit in a bunch of things there.
