“There is a lot of evidence that shows in psychologically safe teams performance goes up, innovation goes up, sense of wellbeing goes up, mental health issues go down, all the business results that come from this; we’re not just pursuing psychological safety because it feels good but because of what it enables.”
This week on Have a Seat, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Speaker, Leadership Consultant and Author Minette Norman, who’s dedicated her career to helping organizations build inclusive, collaborative environments where everyone feels safe to be themselves and contribute their best work.
In 2019, Minette decided to leave her software career behind and focus on what really matters—helping leaders create workplaces where psychological safety is the norm, not the exception. And she didn’t stop there. In February 2023, Minette, along with Karolin Helbig, released The Psychological Safety Playbook, a practical guide for implementing psychological safety in the workplace.
She’s seen firsthand the challenges that come with building a culture of collaboration and inclusion, and she’s made it her mission to help other leaders do better.

"Let's create a community where we celebrate our successes, support each other through failures, and offer a helping hand whenever possible."
I just finished watching the Barbie movie for the second time, and I have to say, there's one scene that absolutely blew me away. It's this incredible monologue by America Ferrera's character, Gloria, the mother of a teen daughter and unappreciated assistant to the CEO of Mattel, that just nails it when it comes to the impossible standards women are held to.She basically laid out the entire female experience in one breath-taking speech. I'm talking about everything from body image to career pressure, to the constant need to be everything to everyone.
So, I wanted to take some time today to dive deep into what she said, and to talk about how we can navigate this crazy, contradictory world we live in. Let's get real.Support the show

What or who do you envy?
