We all have relationships we wish to improve. The concepts behind The 4 Stages of  Psychological Safety™ can help us improve our relationships both at work and beyond the office into our everyday lives. This week Tim and Junior will get personal and discuss how recognizing and rewarding the vulnerable acts of others can make a positive impact on everyone around us. This is part one in a two-part mini series on this topic.

0:20:57 What gets in our way? In many settings, family settings, with all kinds of relationships, and certainly in the workplace, you will be put under pressure and face trauma, stress, and strain. Even the best people in the world will be tested in terms of psychological safety in their personal relationships because they're going to find themselves under stress.
