Every major act of targeted violence and organizational misconduct shares a common feature: someone knew something and did not report their concerns. 

Why does this happen? This webinar provides a preliminary conversation that explores the neuroscience behind why humans hesitate to speak up, even when they recognize danger. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Explain why the brain processes social risk, uncertainty, fear, authority, conformity, and moral decision-making. 

• Describe how neuroscience influences this decision-making under uncertainty. 

• Recognize the organizational conditions that suppress reporting. 

• Explain psychological safety and its relationship to behavioral threat assessment. 

• Reduce barriers that discourage reporting. 

• Design reporting systems aligned with human cognitive functioning. 

• Increase reporting confidence within your organization. 

One-Thing Takeaway: 

• Define one thing you can takeaway as an organizational change agent.
