Kerry and Jordan talk about ICBA's latest featured course.
Ask a crew what they saw before an incident and too often the answer is "nothing." Not because nothing was wrong — but because someone noticed and stayed quiet. Afraid of looking weak. Afraid of the pushback. Afraid of being the guy who slowed things down.
That silence has a cost, and it shows up in injuries, rework, and good people walking off to another company.
ICBA Training's free lunch-and-learn, Hard Hats, High Stakes: Why Psychological Safety Matters on Every Job Site, tackles it head-on. Psychological safety isn't about being soft. It's about building crews where workers raise concerns, ask questions, and flag mistakes early — when they're cheap to fix.
It's led by Paul Pelletier — former corporate lawyer, workplace culture expert, and author with 500+ presentations under his belt. You'll leave knowing what psychological safety is, what it isn't, and the leadership habits that get people talking.
