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.
