An Open Letter to Changemakers
To the Leaders Who Refuse to Accept ‘Business as Usual’
This is your moment.
Being a changemaker in an organization isn’t about maintaining the status quo or accepting empty promises. It’s about leading the charge toward a better, safer, and more inclusive workplace. It´s about workplaces where every voice matters, and every employee feels safe to speak up. At Vanguard Voices we are asking one fundamental question:
Jessica Bensch, Founder
“How do we create workplaces where people are free to contribute without fear?”
Psychological safety is the bedrock of a thriving organization. Without it, even the most well-intentioned diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts fall flat. Fear creeps into the cracks, silencing innovation and stifling creativity.
This movement exists to change that.
Why We Need You
Vanguard Voices is more than a training or consulting session. This is a global call to action. We are here to break the culture of silence that has plagued workplaces for too long. We believe in building environments where trust, accountability, and transparency are more than just words, but they are lived values.
We are tackling the most significant workplace challenges today:
A lack of real accountability:
Too many organizations have policies that sound good on paper but fail in practice.
Fear of retaliation:
Too many employees stay silent, fearing their careers will suffer if they speak up.
Superficial efforts:
Too many programs lack depth, leading to burnout and disengagement.
This is your moment to step forward and be the catalyst for the global shift toward psychological safety that we so desperately need.
Be Part of Something Bigger. Together.
This isn’t just about changing policies. This is about changing lives and reshaping the future of work.
Empower Employees, Drive Advocacy
Join a global network of advocates determined to make workplaces safer and more inclusive. Your voice matters here—and together, we amplify our impact.
Strategic Alliances with Organizations
We partner with forward-thinking companies ready to lead by example. Let’s build a culture where psychological safety is the foundation of every great idea.
Collaborative Consulting for Collective Growth
Our approach about forming strategic partnerships that create tailored pathways to a psychologically safe workplace. We do not create a one-size-fits-all approach.
Build Awareness and Momentum
The Speak Up Summit launched the movement, bringing together global thought leaders and workplace stories to spark real conversations about psychological safety. We are now expanding this momentum, building a network of changemakers committed to fostering safer work environments.
Phase 1

Our aim is to partner with over 1,000 companies to implement best practices for psychological safety, creating a model of organizations that lead by example. By embedding these practices into their core culture, businesses can drive innovation and trust while prioritizing employee well-being.
Phase 2
Our Iterative Plan to Drive Real Change
Transforming workplace culture isn't a one-time task. It’s an ongoing journey that requires deliberate, intentional focus and action from all levels.
Here’s how we plan to make it happen:
