About this listen

Happy, healthy, high performing teams - how do you create them? Research suggests it takes psychological safety, social connection and autonomy. You are likely to spend more time with your team than your family, so this really matters. This podcast is to share practices that helps teams be real with each other, connect, feel safe to be themselves and do great work. I'm Helen Sanderson and my first podcast series was called A Cup of Teal. It explored self-management practices and shared our learning from Wellbeing Teams. Wellbeing Teams were self-managed teams, inspired by Buurtzorg, supporting people to live well at home and be part of their community. We were 'Outstanding' by CQC, and delivered support to people in teams across the UK for four years. Most of the practices we talk about in this podcast formed part of how Wellbeing Teams worked. However, this podcast is not about self-management. I believe that all teams can grow in psychological safety, deepen connections and more towards greater autonomy. This podcast is for any team leader who wants to learn about the practices that can help, learning from my colleagues, mentors and me.Copyright 2025 Helen Sanderson Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Management Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success
