Episode 16 – Marianne Hyness - Psychological Safety, Power Dynamics, and Respect in Nursing

This episode features Marianne, the founder and CEO of Quantum Leap Global, an organization she created in 2020 to transform how individuals and teams thrive through psychological safety 🌱. With over 20 years in large corporations—rising from office junior to COO—Marianne brings deep expertise in leadership, team dynamics, and cultural change. Her passion is helping people show up authentically, work effectively, and leave whole—not burnt out. In our conversation, Marianne shares her insights on what psychological safety truly means and why it’s far more than just being “nice.” We explore three key themes: why psychological safety is critical in healthcare, especially for nurses 🩺; strategies for navigating toxic hierarchies and intergenerational differences; and practical steps to protect your well-being when facing bullying or lack of respect. And stay tuned until the very end—Marianne leaves us with a powerful gold nugget 💡 that could change how you view your career and your voice in any workplace.
