The contents
At DNA Coach we know that Psychological Safety plays an important role in wellbeing and therefore it is important that our workplace environments allow a safe place for us all to manage change and uncertainty, speak freely and have an effective voice in our organisations, that we are all included and there is a culture of team cohesion and team spirit while meeting our innate needs to learn, grow and thrive.
This 4-week programme of half day workshops guides you through our THRIVE Model to achieve Team Safety and Success through Psychological Safety, Wellbeing, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

The Workshops
Workshop One
During our first workshop group webinar we lay the foundations of how to create and embed a culture of Psychological Safety and Team Success. Overall, this session will give you the opportunity to assess how included people are in your business and how to shape and foster a culture of inclusion, even when working remotely and within the standard business operation.
Workshop Two
Workshop two is about creating an environment where feedback is given candidly, mistakes are freely admitted, and people can learn from each other. We will review a leadership assessment and look at leadership actions that encourage trust and safety and one where we develop and coach people to learn.
Workshop Three
It’s week three and this workshop is about teaming and contribution to collaborate across boundaries of expertise, hierarchy, or geographic distance. We will look at the team mindset approach with clear links to accountability, healthy working practices that engage and empower people to work collaboratively for success.
Workshop Four
During our last workshop we engage in managing conflict in the workplace and how to shape and foster an environment that promotes healthy conflict as an everyday practice. We will review the principles in building resilience and how to manage uncertainty and change.

If you would like some recommendations to life coach training providers then drop us a note to hello@dnacoach.co.uk and we will happily share some companies with you to enquire with.
After completion, what comes next?
We would love you to remain a student with us by joining our monthly membership ‘The Coaches & Leaders Assemble CPD Membership’ and/or complete further training and accreditation with us via our Continuing Coach Education programmes.

Go out and help people all around you be at their very best, to make change and to move forward.

If you are within a workplace, then lead with a coaching approach and truly build that coaching culture within your organisation. Whether running your own business or working for an organisation, success as a coach often lies with the ability to develop personal and professional networks so get out and do as much of that as possible.
