The safe-space you are refering to is becoming more and more important as change is becoming the new normal. This is when we observe that the classic command-and-control does not suffice anymore to get things done. As the tides of change get higher and higher we need to rely on increasing levels of trust. Thanks again for sharing, Luc. Hi Christine,

Since establishing my own family 12 years ago I have been able at least to relate the combination of my experiences in both spheres and to apply them to my leadership development coaching interventions with my clients. One of the challenges, I find, is showing leaders that creating a mutually-trusting environment is not a luxury item, but a basic pre-requisite of employee engagement and organizational health.
