Alla Weinberg - Designing a Culture of Safety

Alla Weinberg constructively unpacks unsafe workplace cultures, shares her thoughts on how we can change them, and why we should do just that.

Highlights include:

• Why is the opposite of fear safety and not courage?  
• What do you focus on first when changing a culture?
• How can people read between the lines to better understand a culture?
• What have corporations forgotten about the humans that work for them?
• Can you create safety only as long as you don’t make your boss look bad?
