Your team says "everything is fine" — but releases slip, mistakes surface too late, and the best people quietly update their CVs. Sound familiar? The problem usually isn't skills or processes. It's that people don't feel safe enough to tell you the truth.

This course is a practical playbook for building trust and psychological safety in real teams — based on 10 years of hands-on leadership experience in IT, not abstract theory.

What makes this course different

You won't just listen to concepts. Throughout the course you'll follow Team Orbit — a fictional but painfully realistic IT team — and watch their conflicts, failed releases, harsh code reviews and broken trust play out on screen. Then you'll practice fixing them: through assignments with instructor solutions, AI role-play conversations, quizzes, and a printable workbook of self-reflection exercises.

Inside the course you will learn to:

• Diagnose the real level of safety in your team using the 4 Stages of Psychological Safety

• Give honest feedback without damaging relationships (Radical Candor, non-toxic communication)

• Build trust as a leader through vulnerability and the "User Manual of Me" technique

• Run rituals that create safety: blameless retrospectives, safety checks, RACI, Definition of Done

• Read early signs of burnout through digital body language

• Resolve conflicts with Nonviolent Communication and interest-based mediation

• Communicate through change and crisis so the team stays stable

• Rebuild broken trust step by step with the 3R framework: Recognize → Repair → Rebuild

By the end, you'll complete a capstone project — your personal Trust System Blueprint: a 5-stage implementation plan for your real team, ready to launch on Monday morning.

No psychology background needed. Everything is explained from scratch, in plain language, with scripts you can reuse word for word.

If your team is silent in meetings, hides mistakes, or avoids honest conversations — this course was made for you. Let's build a team where people tell you the truth.
