IS YOUR

WORKPLACE

PSYCHOLOGICALLY

SAFE?

Most organizations say yes.

But can employees admit mistakes without fear?

Can they ask questions without feeling judged?

Can they challenge ideas, share concerns and speak honestly with leaders?

If the answer isn't a confident YES, we’ve got work to do...

TALKS TOO MUCH helps organizations create psychologically safe workplaces through storytelling, reflection & implementation.

THIS IS NOT :
a “one-off workshop
a “
PowerPoint presentation

We designed a practical system to help leaders & teams build safer workplace cultures over time.

THE PROBLEM:

People don't learn psychological safety by reading a policy.
They learn it through experiences, conversations, stories, reflection and repeated practice.

Most training programs stop at AWARENESS but psychological safety requires IMPLEMENTATION.

NeuroNarrative is a story-based psychological safety implementation system

We combine Workplace Audio Story Simulations, guided reflection activities and practical workplace application. NeuroNarrative helps teams move from understanding psychological safety to actively creating it.

  • They experience them.

  • They hear psychologically safe and unsafe workplace situations unfold.

  • They reflect on what happened.

  • They identify patterns in their own workplace.

  • They apply what they've learned in real conversations and real situations.

PARTICIPANTS DON’T JUST LEARN CONCEPTS.

THE S.A.F.E. PLACES FRAMEWORK

Our work is built around four core practices:

S.

Understand your story
Communicate your experiences
Create opportunities for others to do the same

SHARE

A.

ASK

Create curiosity
Invite perspectives
Encourage honest dialogue

F.

FOSTER

Build rituals, practices and environments that support trust and participation.

E.

EMBODY

Model the behaviors you want others to experience.

Psychological safety isn't a policy.

IT’S A PRACTICE.

WHY STORIES?

Stories help people see themselves.

Stories create emotional connection.

Stories make abstract concepts tangible.

Stories are remembered long after presentations are forgotten.

Our Workplace Audio Story Simulations are designed to help participants experience psychological safety,
not just hear about it.

SAMPLE STORIES:

The Meeting
