Did you know that when there is psychological safety on a team, it actually can reduce our cognitive load, making it easier to solve problems and innovate?

We no longer have to perform the mental risk calculations and assess our vulnerability whenever we want to ask a question. Instead, we can focus our brain power as a team on problem solving and innovation.

In this episode, Tom Geraghty, founder of psychsafety.com, discusses the relationship between cognitive load and psychological safety and how we can use that knowledge to help teams thrive. We also discuss how psychological safety relates to privilege and intersectionality. Finally, Tom provides actionable practices for new and experienced leaders to more effectively create environments of psych safety so that the bulk of the team's cognitive load can be dedicated to meaningful, productive work.
