Webinar: Comfortably uncomfortable: Reframing psychological safety for alpha generation

Psychological safety is one of leadership’s most talked about and most misunderstood ideas. Too often, it’s reduced to being “safe,” when in reality, high-performance demands something far more dynamic. After all, how can people truly innovate, challenge thinking, or seize opportunity if they’re not willing to step beyond their comfort zone?

This tension leaves many organisations stuck: they champion psychological safety yet struggle to translate it into behaviours that genuinely drive results.

In this session, Dr Alexandra Dobra-Kiel, Innovation & Strategy Director at Behave, and Andrew McNally, Director and Co-Founder of Sapius Capital, offer a fresh, performance focused perspective. They reframe psychological safety not as the absence of risk, but as the capability to operate effectively at the intersection of comfort and discomfort where growth, challenge, and breakthrough thinking happen.
