Build on what you already know with the Cultivating Safe Spaces enhanced add-on.

Now that you have started your Cultivating Safe Spaces journey, it’s time to practice and build on your journey with CSS. The Cultivating Safe Spaces enhanced add-on is designed to give you the tools to apply Cultivating Safe Spaces principles in your personal life or team workplace settings. Whether you're a leader, a team member, or someone navigating professional relationships, this continued practice will support you in cultivating safety, connection, and belonging in all areas of your life.

What to expect:

This add-on consists of six modules, each designed to deepen your understanding of Cultivating Safe Spaces in team environments:

  • Understanding Self in a Team Environment – Recognizing how identity, experiences, and emotions shape workplace interactions.
  • Love-Based Practice in Professional Relationships – Shifting from fear-based cultures to trust-based collaboration.
  • Patience in Team Communication & Conflict Resolution – Understanding how trauma, stress, and patience play a role in workplace dynamics.
  • Discipline in Listening & Workplace Dynamics – Practicing active listening and creating a culture of mutual respect.
  • Applying the Four Decision-Making Perspectives in Teams – Understanding different teamwork styles and how to balance them.
  • Honoring the Four Protocols in Workplace Culture – Implementing well-being, inclusion, freedom, and validation in professional settings.

Each module will include:

  • Video Lessons explaining key concepts
  • Self-Reflection Journaling Prompts to deepen personal insights
  • Scenario-Based Practical Applications to reinforce CSS principles in real-world team settings
  • Diagrams to support learning

 

 

This course is built around a belief in these simple truths:

  • Every interaction we have in a team setting is shaped by who we are, where we come from, and what we carry with us.
  • Our past experiences influence how we listen, how we react, and how we interpret other people’s behaviors.
  • Sometimes, our responses to colleagues aren’t about them at all—its about our own internal stories, expectations, and past experiences.

This add-on will give you the tools and confidence to show up fully, think differently, and do the work you need to do in a way that honors who you are through love, trust, and faith. We look forward to taking this learning journey with you!
