Through Breaking the Silence, I’ve spent years creating safe spaces and listening to people talk about experiences that usually remain unspoken. Regardless of the topic, people stay silent because of fear, shame, overload, failure, or fear of rejection. This happens both in our private lives and in professional settings. At the end of the day, we are humans in both areas. Silence and the lack of psychological safety come with real risks. My own experience as a scientist and working in tech has shown me how difficult it is to even consider that psychological safety is a crucial element of performance and not just “soft” work. That’s why I’m rebranding the LinkedIn presence of Breaking the Silence to BTS LABS. BTS LABS focuses on one core question: How can organizations create the conditions where people thrive and performance follows? Why BTS LABS? BTS stands for Breaking the Silence: the heart of my work. LABS signals that this is not generic leadership advice. It’s about observing patterns, listening deeply, experimenting with interventions, and making the invisible visible, in a measurable way. Breaking the Silence will continue as the community and storytelling space — now on Instagram (@breakingthesilence____), YouTube (@breakingthesilence_official), and through intimate live events (online & offline). While BTS LABS is where these insights meet leadership, teams, and performance in tech organizations. Stay tuned 🤩
