This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way.

I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.

105. The Leadership Behaviours That Shape Psychological Safety Ft. Preetie Boler
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Psychological safety is often spoken about as something we want to create, but it is shaped by the everyday behaviours people experience from those holding power.
A leader can value inclusion, care deeply about equity and still behave in ways that make others feel cautious, unseen or unsure whether it is safe to speak, challenge, contribute or disagree.
In this episode, I’m joined by Preetie Boler, leadership behaviour strategist, facilitator, founder of Empowered by Design and author of Shiftcode Leadership.
Together, we talk about the leadership behaviours that shape psychological safety, trust and inclusion, especially when pressure is high and the gap between intention and impact becomes harder to ignore.
Preetie shares how behavioural intelligence helps leaders recognise their blind spots, notice how they respond under pressure, share power more consciously and take accountability when their impact does not match their values.
In this conversation, we discuss:
• Why psychological safety begins with leadership behaviour
• How well-meaning leaders can still undermine trust
• Why intention and impact are not the same in inclusive leadership
• What repair and accountability can look like when harm has been caused
This is a powerful conversation for leaders, coaches, consultants, facilitators and business owners who care about inclusion and want to better understand how their behaviour shapes the spaces they lead.
