My work centers on one idea:
Everyone deserves to feel safe.
A Little More About Create Safe & Tim
At the start of my career, I thought I'd found my dream job. My world dramatically changed after facing a toxic culture and workplace sexual harassment. Coming to terms with my experiences, I knew no one else should ever feel the isolation and exhaustion that stem from dreading work. I don't believe we have to find "purpose" in our jobs, but since we spend an estimated 90,000 hours working, our professional experiences shouldn't provoke any form of harm.
My work connects people's creative ideas to forward-thinking organizational practices by centering humanity. I founded Create Safe to offer meaningful training, conduct research, and help leaders better seek out and act upon their people's voices.
Over 400 organizations, including Fortune 1000 companies, leading trade associations such as MPI, IMEX, and SHRM, global retail franchises, and beyond have trusted me. Whether helping you conduct research or leading an educational session, my blend of deliberate engagement, systems-based approach, and people-first research helps create more human organizations that feel safer and more welcoming to all.
Create Safe Research
With the profound nature of this topic, I also believe in offering data-backed and measurable solutions. To accomplish this, Create Safe has conducted blended research with over 1,500 participants and growing.
We study what it means to feel safe and how moments of harm influence behavioral patterns. As we expand our research, we've focused on identifying proven tactics that organizations can replicate to stop harm, cultivate feelings of safety, and create human-centered cultures.
As we continue to study these concepts, our work has centered on identifying meaningful and proven tactics that organizations can replicate to stop harm, cultivate feelings of safety, and create human-centered cultures.
As we've explored the measurable ways that organizations center their cultures around feelings of safety, the results are profound. In safe cultures...
