Meetings are where ideas are shared, decisions are made, and collaboration happens, yet they're also one of the most common places where people hold back.

In this episode of the Beyond Self Care Podcast, Dr. Gail Markin and co-host Jade Garratt explore the factors that influence psychological safety in meetings. They discuss how power dynamics, group norms, leadership behaviours, and meeting structures can either encourage participation or create barriers to speaking up.

Together, they examine why psychological safety is about more than creating a comfortable atmosphere. It's about fostering environments where people feel able to contribute, ask questions, share concerns, and engage with different perspectives.

Whether you're leading meetings, facilitating teams, or participating in organizational life, this conversation offers practical insights into creating spaces where trust, learning, and meaningful dialogue can flourish.

In this episode:
• Why psychological safety matters in meetings
• How power and hierarchy influence participation
• The impact of meeting norms and structures
• Practical ways to encourage voice, trust, and engagement
