People of the Present, Looking after our Future - Elizabeth Wheeler, APA (APGA Convention)

Abstract: Psychological Safety needs to be as important as physical safety - this session looks to discuss why it’s so essential; from the point of view of someone entirely unqualified but hugely motivated to talk about it! The future of this industry is competing with a growing importance on social licence to operate, the age of social media, cancel culture, and tiktok trends. 
Expect an entertaining and informative layperson’s view of “social licence”, what on earth this jargon term is for “preventing being canceled”, and how we actually need to manage it. From diversity to environment, to social justice - what exactly are we facing out there and why is our people’s psychological wellbeing of utmost importance? The research behind this paper is a balance of expert statistics and considered opinion, with input from professional consultants, industry participants, and youtubers all given appropriate validity.
