Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Last episode, we talked about why executives skip the people part of AI transformation - the 10-20-70 problem where 70% of effort should go to people, processes, and culture. Today, iswhat that 70% actually looks like in practice. And it starts with psychological safety. Not as a buzzword. As an actual, measurable, neuroscience-backed practice that determines whether your AI transformation succeeds or fails. According to Accenture, 77% of executives say trust is the foundation for AI benefits to work. And trust is built through psychological safety. In this episode, you'll discover: What psychological safety actually means (Google's Project Aristotle findings) The neuroscience of why it matters (amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex) Why AI destroys psychological safety faster than other changes The three signals that psychological safety is broken in your organization The four practices that build psychological safety during AI disruption How to measure it (beyond surveys) This is how you build the 70%. Next episode: Why most AI transformations fail (the change resistance problem). If your AI transformation feels chaotic, reactive, or stuck - let's talk.
