Laurence Kozera
People Strategy ConsultantAbout
As the CEO of openconversation.ch, I help organizations unlock their potential with a people strategy centered on psychological safety. With over 10 years of experience in Google's global product partnerships, I have learned how to build trust, collaboration, and innovation with diverse and complex stakeholders across EMEA and North America.
My mission is to create a culture of open conversation in the workplace, where talent and ideas are not wasted, but nurtured and valued. I believe that authenticity, sincerity, and impact are the pillars of a successful and sustainable organization. If you share these values and want to transform your organization with psychological safety, I would love to have a chat.

With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent—but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind?
