Psychological Safety on the Plant Floor: Trust That Keeps Your Best People

$3,000
KeynoteIn person or virtual
For entrepreneurs and business owners and general corporate audiences.

Leaders see a live psychological-safety demo, practice two tools they can use on the next shift (validate-and-mirror and reflective inquiry), and learn a four-step framework: Establish trust, Address primary needs, Illuminate the inflection point, and Nurture growth. They also learn to spot the leadership patterns (control, conflict avoidance, rescuing) that quietly push good people out the door.

  • Recognize the early warning signs that psychological safety is missing on a crew or shift, before it shows up as turnover
  • Use validate-and-mirror and reflective inquiry in one-on-ones and stay conversations
  • Apply the four-step Establish, Address, Illuminate, Nurture framework to one team they lead

The Founder Patterns That Make or Break Growth

Custom quote
WorkshopIn person or virtual
For entrepreneurs and business owners and CEOs and senior executives.

Todd unpacks six founder patterns (control, conflict avoidance, rescuing, perfectionism, urgency, and approval-seeking) and what each one quietly costs a business. Attendees take a quick self-assessment to identify their dominant pattern and work through guiding questions to see the pattern behind the problem.

  • Identify which founder pattern is most likely capping their business's growth right now
  • Put a number on what that pattern is costing them in margin, team turnover, and their own time
  • Leave with one 30-day commitment
