    Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. There are 4 stages of Psychological Safety

      • "This model acts as if the beginning of psychological safety has achieved that."

    2. Social exchange is built on trust

      • "This is why you also have a social contract — this reflects social exchange, unspecified obligations, no formal contract so you need trust."

    3. We use PICOC to get really specific about inclusion work

      • "Instead of vague goals like ‘We want more diversity,’ PICOC forces clarity."

    Key Takeaways from This Episode:

    1. Insights are useless until it’s applied at work.

      • "I love education… but you know what I love even more? Using what you’ve learned to make a difference in your life."

    2. Inclusion Test is pass/fail

      • "No attempt is a fail. Any attempt with a measurable result is a pass… too many people fail."

    3. Every episode’s question is a blueprint for action.

      • "At the beginning I tell you what I’m going to cover… at the end, I ask a practical question. The answer to that question is an action."
