Webinar: Silence to Safety: A Practical Guide for HR Leaders

1pm - Tuesday 24th March 2026
Presenters: Jen Southern, Scott Smith & Dr Amanda Potter

From Insight to Implementation

You know the theory: Psychological Safety is the engine of high performance. But for HR leaders, the challenge isn’t why it matters, it’s how to build it when the culture is stuck in a cycle of silence.

Following our in-person workshops, Scott Smith and Jen Southern are hosting this 90-minute deep dive to move the conversation from “the room” to “the workplace.” This session is designed to give you the practical toolkit needed to bridge the gap between survey data and real-world behaviour change.

Whether you attended our previous events or are joining us for the first time, you’ll leave with clear, actionable strategies to foster a culture of trust.

 

The Two-Part Strategy

Part 1: The Practical Roadmap (45 Mins) We’re skipping the heavy theory and going straight to the “Doing.” Scott and Jen will facilitate a hands-on session focusing on:

  • The “Safety Audit”: How to identify the specific pockets of silence in your organisation.
  • Managerial Micro-habits: Simple, repeatable actions HR can coach leaders to use daily.
  • The Feedback Loop: Moving beyond annual surveys to “always-on” listening and psychological safety.

 

Part 2: The ‘Ask Me Anything’ with Dr. Amanda Potter (45 Mins) We are privileged to be joined by Dr. Amanda Potter, CEO of Zircon BeTalent and the Association of Business Psychologists’ 2024 Practitioner of the Year.

This is a rare opportunity for a “Clinic” style Q&A. Bring your toughest organisational challenges, whether it’s a resistant C-suite, a culture of fear, or the complexities of hybrid work, and get direct, expert advice from one of the industry’s leading voices.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Concrete Strategies: Practical tools to take back to your leadership teams.
  • Expert Problem-Solving: Direct access to Dr. Amanda Potter for your specific psychological safety hurdles.
  • A Path Forward: A clear understanding of how to move from “silence” to a culture of safety
