“PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY”
IS NOT A SINGLE SESSION.
It develops through what happens in meetings, conversations, decisions, mistakes, disagreements & everyday interactions.

DISCOVER → DEVELOP → PRACTICE → ALIGN → IMPLEMENT → SUSTAIN →
Organizations already have strategies, policies, training, employee feedback and workplace initiatives designed to support psychological safety.
NeuroNarrative helps turn those commitments into everyday workplace behaviour.
It starts by understanding what's happening now.
It starts by seeing
what’s happening now.
1. DISCOVER
ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSTIC
RESEARCH + 2-HOUR FACILITATED DIAGNOSTIC + DISCOVERY BRIEF
DISCOVER is the starting point of NeuroNarrative. It examines the conditions around speaking up, identifies priority workplace behaviours and establishes what should be measured over time.
The process combines organizational research, existing People & Culture data, a facilitated diagnostic session and workplace scenarios to understand how speaking up is experienced across different roles and levels of the organization.
THE OUTPUT
Speaking Up Diagnostic
What we learned across WILL, CAN & WHEN
Priority Behaviours
What should be developed or reinforced
Behaviour & Measurement Baseline
What to measure and how it connects organizationally
Recommended Next Steps
Where the organization should go from here
THREE QUESTIONS GUIDE THE DIAGNOSTIC
WILL I SPEAK UP?
Do people believe speaking up is worth the risk?
CAN I SPEAK UP?
Do people believe speaking up is worth the risk?
WHEN I SPEAK UP?
Do people believe speaking up is worth the risk?
2. DEVELOP
SPEAKING UP FOUNDATIONS
5-WEEK LEADERSHIP SYSTEM
A focused entry point for leaders to build foundational speaking-up and leadership-response behaviours.
Participants move through five NeuroNarrative learning cycles built around workplace stories, guided reflection and practical action. Each cycle gives participants an opportunity to examine a workplace moment, reflect on what happened and practise a behaviour inside their own workplace.
THE EXPERIENCE
5 Workplace Audio Story Simulations™
5 guided reflections
5 practical Speak Up Actions
Live Opening Session
Live Closing Session
Participants apply what they are learning between sessions in real meetings, conversations and workplace situations.
Story. Reflection. Action. Repeated over time.
3. PRACTICE
SPEAKING UP CORE
12-WEEK BEHAVIOURAL PRACTICE
A focused entry point for leaders to build foundational speaking-up and leadership-response behaviours.
Participants move through five NeuroNarrative learning cycles built around workplace stories, guided reflection and practical action. Each cycle gives participants an opportunity to examine a workplace moment, reflect on what happened and practise a behaviour inside their own workplace.
THE EXPERIENCE
12 Workplace Audio Story Simulations™
12 Reflection Activities
12 Speak Up Actions

The pathway is selected based on what your organization needs to strengthen.
4. ALIGN
EXECUTIVE ALIGNMENT
12-WEEK ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
Speaking-up behaviours do not exist separately from the organization around them. Leadership expectations, workplace practices, communication, accountability and responses all shape what happens when someone decides to speak.
ALIGN brings decision-makers together to define what needs to be true organizationally for the behaviours being practised through NeuroNarrative to be supported and reinforced.
THE FOCUS
Priority Behaviours
Leadership Expectations
Response Expectations
Ownership & Accountability
Organizational Communication
Policies & Workplace Practices
Measurement
Implementation
Behavioural practice has to be supported
by organizational practice.
5. IMPLEMENT
ORGANIZATIONAL IMPLEMENTATION
12-MONTH IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD
This is where the behaviours and organizational practices developed throughout NeuroNarrative are put into operation.
Leadership expectations become clearer. Workplace practices are implemented and reinforced. Priority behaviours continue to be practised. Progress is measured. What the organization learns is used to guide what happens next.
IMPLEMENTATION OUTPUTS
-
IMPLEMENTATION OUTPUTS -
Speaking Up Diagnostic
Assesses speaking-up conditions through three questions: Will people speak? Can they speak? What happens when they do?
Behaviour Measurement
Establishes a baseline for priority workplace behaviours and measures how those behaviours change over time.
Organizational Practice Framework
Defines the priority behaviours the organization will develop, reinforce and sustain.
Workplace Practice Library
Provides stories, reflections and practical actions for continued behavioural practice and reinforcement.
Organizational Behaviour Roadmap
Translates priority behaviours into clear expectations and practical workplace application.
Implementation & Measurement Plan
Defines how behaviours will be implemented, measured, reviewed and reinforced across the organization.
6. SUSTAIN
ANNUAL REVIEW
Psychological safety changes as people, leaders and workplaces change.
At the end of each implementation cycle, NeuroNarrative brings together behavioural measurement, speaking-up conditions, organizational learning and implementation progress to determine what should happen next.
What changed?
What behaviours strengthened?
What are people experiencing when they speak up?
What organizational practices have been implemented?
What should be reinforced, refined or developed next?
At the end of each cycle, NeuroNarrative brings together measurement, speaking-up conditions and implementation progress to determine what happens next.
YEAR ONE IS THE BEGINNING.
NeuroNarrative can continue through ongoing story-based reinforcement, targeted leadership development, executive work, organizational practice development and continued measurement.
Year Two & beyond are shaped by what the organization actually needs next.
IMPLEMENT. MEASURE. REFINE. REINFORCE.
START WITH DISCOVER.
Every organization already has something in place.
DISCOVER establishes what is happening now, identifies the priority behaviours and determines what should happen next.
Use the findings internally or continue into NeuroNarrative implementation.
