Welcome Smashing the Plateau listeners…
Building psychological safety and trust takes knowing and doing.
As an entrepreneur you’re intimately familiar with how your mindset can make or break your mood, motivation and productivity on any given day. Some days, you feel fired up and passionate about work, while on others, you’ll feel like the cost is too high, the learning curve too steep, or the competition is too strong.
It’s just one of many reasons why building a strong sense of psychological safety and self trust is important. Whether you plan to build a thriving local business, an international micro business that serves thousands, or a start up that can scale, these are the soft skills that will change the way you engage with the people you’re working with, the work you’re doing and your own sense of self.
We’ve put together a pack of goodies for you to start you on your journey of developing strong psychological safety and trust. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed putting them together for you.

The saying ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’ is true for psychological safety and trust too.
Both psychological safety and trust look different to each of us based on where we live, how we live, how we were raised and who we are surrounded by.
This book explains why that is and what you can do next to start building trust from the inside out.
You can’t cultivate psychological safety and trust when you’re on the edge of burnout - so learn to read the signs and pull back to create new habits.
This free 5 day email series shares a host of tools for resetting your routine so you can regain a healthy rhythm before you find yourself tipping over in to burnout.
The 30 Day Team Reset is our starting point for leaders who want to experience - rather than read about - how performance, psychological safety, and trust work hand in hand.
It works whether your team is in-house or WFH.

Hi, I’m Teresa…
I’m a leadership consultant and coach, who specialises in performance, psychological safety and trust.
Before that, I was a corporate leader, working in businesses like Hasbro, The Walt Disney Company and Universal Pictures, leading a team, negotiating deals and travelling extensively overseas. It was that career that led me to this one.
As a senior leader and a solo parent, leadership coaching helped me rethink my role as a leader. It challenged everything I thought I knew and helped me create a leadership cadence that set myself and the team up for success across the board. We shaved hours off our work days, got more done (to even higher standards) and we were achieving better results. Our profit tripled, but by that point it was the icing on the cake. I’d thought we had a high performing team, but it had taken an unrelentingly heavy workload and long hours to bring me to the point where I was open to the possibility that it wasn’t true and that we needed change.
That’s the reason I changed careers. I realised how easy it is for us to be caught up in habitual ways of working long after they’ve stopped working. There’s an easier, smarter and simpler way to work. So that’s what I teach. How to build and lead a high performing team - before you feel like you’re reaching your limits.
