What if the greatest act of courage in a group is creating the psychological safety for all to have a voice?In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I sit down with Majella Greene—social worker, therapist, trainer, and thought leader in psychological safety. We explore what it really means to create spaces where people can show up authentically, speak openly, and feel safe enough to take risks, make mistakes, and connect with others.From the impact of power dynamics to the importance of cultural humility, Majella shares powerful insights into what makes safety not just structural, but felt. We talk about compassion, vulnerability, leadership, and even beekeeping—as a surprising but meaningful metaphor for safe and thriving communities.It was a rich and inspiring conversation about the courage to show up, and how we can co-create environments where everyone has a voice.Learn more about Majella’s work: https://majellagreene.co.uk/ Watch the webinar with Majella, Bill Miller, Denise Ernst & myself: https://mint.thinkific.com/products/live_events/CompassionSafetyHopeTimestamps:00:00 Introduction to Compassion in a T-Shirt00:06 Meet Majella Greene: A Thought Leader in Psychological Safety01:34 The Concept of Psychological Safety04:46 Internal and Collective Responsibility09:04 Cues for a Psychologically Safe Environment13:43 Belonging Without Fitting In16:59 Compassion and Authenticity24:34 The Importance of Repair30:12 Difficult Conversations in Leadership34:19 The Importance of Difficult Conversations34:58 Addressing Small Issues in Psychological Safety37:23 Beekeeping as a Metaphor for Psychological Safety43:55 The Power of Asking "What Do You Want?”47:38 Creating Psychological Safety: Aspirations and Realities57:28 Practical Steps for Self-Compassion and Safety58:52 Final Thoughts and ReflectionsIf you would like to learn more about compassion focused therapy, you can find Dr Stan Steindl's book The Gifts of Compassion here: https://www.ausapress.com/p/the-gifts-of-compassion-how-to-understand-and-overcome-suffering/ Say hi on social: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstansteindl Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/StanSteindl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_stan_steindl/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-steindl-150a5264/ Website: https://www.stansteindl.com/ YouTube Video URL: https://youtu.be/6Lz2O0mJGB4*Affiliate Disclaimer: Note this description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.
