In our research with approximately 850 employees across seven organizations in Canada and the United States, we uncovered what we call the voice gap.

📊 While 66% of employees said they felt comfortable raising concerns with colleagues, only 49% said they felt comfortable doing the same with leaders.

The question for every leader is simple:
What makes it easier—or harder—for people to speak candidly with you?

In this clip from our latest Anima Café, Shakil Choudhury shares insights from employees across organizations in Canada and the U.S. on what helps create workplaces where people can truly speak up.

Join Anima co-founder Shakil Choudhury's new Substack: Beyond Distrust

After more than thirty years inside boardrooms, classrooms and organizations, Shakil delves more deeply into the questions of our times:

Why is change so difficult? Why do smart people become so divided? Why does shame often undermine learning? Why does trust matter so much? And what can conflict teach us about leadership, relationships, and society?

Using stories—a moment from work or life—Shakil will explore the larger patterns underneath human behaviour. You can sign up here: https://shakilwrites.substack.com/ by @animaleadership

Across workplaces, leaders are navigating rising tension, uncertainty, and complexity—often while trying to keep teams grounded, connected, and productive through it all. In moments like these, the question becomes less about what tool to use and more about what kind of leadership is required.

This year, the Anima Summer Institute is exploring exactly these questions. Watch below as CVO & Co-Founder Shakil Choudhury shares the key leadership skills at the heart of this year’s Institute.

Would people on your team tell you the truth?

Psychological safety is the belief that we can speak up, ask questions, challenge ideas, and make mistakes without fear of humiliation or exclusion.

It's also one of the strongest predictors of trust, innovation, and healthy team culture.

In a divisive, digital era, creating psychological safety isn't optional—it's essential.

Join us at the Anima Summer Institute (FIRST DAY FREE) as we explore how leaders can build workplaces where people feel safe to contribute, connect, and grow.

When conflict, stress, and uncertainty show up at work, leaders are often expected to hold everything together.

But resilient, high-performing teams don’t happen by accident. They’re built through trust, clarity, and psychological safety.

This week, we’re spotlighting Psychological Safety: The Foundations for Team Leadership — one of four courses in Anima’s Leadership for Troubled Times Certificate.

In this course, leaders will explore how to:

✨ Build psychological safety through practical workplace processes
✨ Understand how trauma, mental health, and identity shape team dynamics
✨ Establish a healthier emotional baseline for teams
✨ Use inclusion data to identify gaps and strengthen culture
✨ Lead with clarity when global events or political divisions enter the workplace

This course is part of a larger certificate pathway alongside Navigating Polarization, Facilitating Dialogue, and Deep Diversity — designed to help leaders build trust, navigate complexity, and strengthen inclusive, resilient teams.
