Imagine you’re a bushy little mouse today… You pop your head out the arched hole in the wall, because you smell something… Is that the smell of a creamy Camembert and you just go for it, the minute you see it? Or is all you can smell a rotten hungry cat who put the cheese on a mini table, laid out with a table cloth and a single chair that is “just right” - waiting to pounce on you the minute you give in? Wani Mkandawire - Assoc. CIPD spent the morning with our troop this week, making us aware that there are plenty of mice who just see cats. They want to mitigate risks vs. just focus on the reward. For someone who wants to mitigate risks (“smells the cat”): Validate their concerns. Help them to feel prepared.  Explore options and the downsides. Avoid: Not spending enough time tuned into their worries For someone who wants to focus on the reward (“smells the cheese”): Allow them to explore risks and possibilities. Explore why things might work. Avoid: Getting to focus too much on what might go wrong Thanks Wani for a great session on how to build connections fast with our clients - so many practical take aways :) Cat or Cheese that is the question? #relationships #business #culture #agencylife #agencygrowth

Have you ever worked in a place where you can’t speak up, can’t share ideas, or even admit a mistake without being afraid of the consequences? I have.😔 It's crucial to create psychological safety at work if you want to see growth, trust, and strong performance. Yet, as I was reminded this week, there are people in the world—like the women in Afghanistan—who face unimaginable restrictions, unable to speak up or connect with each other without fear. For them, the basic right to feel safe and heard is denied entirely. Reflecting on this, I’m more convinced than ever of the importance of creating safe spaces at work. When team members feel safe: ✅ they’re empowered to bring their full selves to the table ✅ it cultivates resilience and collaboration. ✅ it makes room for fresh ideas In this week’s newsletter, I share insights and actionable tips on how to create those environments where everyone can speak and participate without the fear of judgment.

Together, we can create a culture where every voice matters.😉
