Online webinar on psychological safety with Katja Hurt. A Leadership Development Series presentation.

  • Casual

6:00-7:30pm PST via Zoom Meeting
Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees the day of the session.

Safety is at the heart of what we do, yet most of us stop our scene-size-up at environmental and human hazards. How often do we consider the cultural, professional, and psychological safety in our ongoing assessments? It turns out that the scene is not always as safe as we think it is. This session is for you if you want to start thinking about psychological safety and how it plays a part in outdoor recreation.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to participate via meeting chat, opportunities for Q&A throughout, and at least one breakout session.
