Daniela Landherr biography
Corporate culture speaker Daniela Landherr is one of the world’s leading authorities on psychological safety, the quality of trust that allows teams to speak up, take risks, and do their best work. She spent fifteen years at Google, rising to Head of Talent Engagement for EMEA, where she helped create the conditions for trust, innovation, and high performance at global scale. Today she brings that rare, inside experience to leaders everywhere, helping them transform their cultures from the inside out.
As the founder and CEO of The Human Space, a boutique leadership advisory, Landherr works with CEOs, executive teams, boards, and founders in the moments that matter most, when trust is fragile, change is complex, and the visible issue is rarely the real one. Drawing on systems psychodynamics, leadership science, and her years inside one of the world’s most admired cultures, she helps organizations move from fear to clarity, from caution to courage, and from individual effort to collective progress. Her firm has twice been honored with the Inc. Power Partners Award.
Psychological Safety at Scale
Landherr’s expertise is rooted in the same research that made psychological safety a boardroom priority: Google’s landmark Project Aristotle study, which found it to be the single most important factor behind high-performing teams. In her widely viewed TEDx talk and her keynotes, she makes the concept tangible and practical, showing leaders how to build it deliberately rather than leave it to chance. A member of the Forbes Coaches Council, she holds an executive master’s from INSEAD and completed an executive leadership program at Stanford, and lectures at leading business schools including IMD and the University of St. Gallen.
As a speaker, Daniela Landherr is warm, insightful, and refreshingly human, combining real stories from inside Google with the science of trust and a coach’s gift for making ideas stick. She speaks on psychological safety and why it drives innovation, building cultures of trust at scale, leadership and the courage to have real conversations, and turning culture into a competitive advantage. Audiences leave with a clear, practical understanding of how to create the kind of workplace where people, and performance, truly thrive.

Daniela Landherr Keynote Topics
Google's own research found that the single biggest difference between its best teams and the rest wasn't talent or resources, it was psychological safety. Daniela Landherr, who spent fifteen years inside Google, makes this powerful idea tangible: what psychological safety really is, why it drives innovation and performance, and how leaders can build it deliberately. Blending inside stories with the science of trust, she gives audiences a clear, practical understanding of the invisible factor that determines whether teams thrive or stall.
Trust is easy to talk about and hard to scale. Drawing on her work helping shape culture at Google and now advising organizations through The Human Space, Daniela Landherr shows leaders how to turn trust from a nice-to-have into their most valuable operating system. She shares how to create the conditions for candor, courage, and collaboration across large, complex organizations, not just within a single team. A practical, strategic keynote for leaders serious about culture as a driver of performance.
What leaders avoid doesn't disappear, Daniela Landherr argues, it becomes the culture. In this keynote she explores why so many teams stay silent when it matters most, and how leaders can create the safety for people to raise concerns, challenge ideas, and tell the truth. Drawing on systems psychodynamics and years of executive coaching, she helps leaders shift from telling to asking and from reacting to reflecting. An honest, human talk about the conversations that change organizations.
Few speakers can offer a genuine insider's view of how one of the world's most admired companies builds high-performing teams. Over fifteen years at Google, Daniela Landherr helped shape leadership, talent, and engagement at global scale. In this keynote she shares what she learned about the conditions that enable trust, innovation, and performance, and how any organization can apply those lessons. A rare, behind-the-scenes look at culture and leadership from the inside of Google.

Who is Daniela Landherr?
Daniela Landherr is a leadership advisor, executive coach, and keynote speaker, and one of the leading voices on psychological safety in the workplace. She spent fifteen years at Google, rising to Head of Talent Engagement for EMEA, where she helped create the conditions for trust, innovation, and high performance across the organization.

What is psychological safety, and what is Daniela Landherr's approach?
Psychological safety is the shared belief that it is safe to take interpersonal risks at work, to speak up, ask questions, admit mistakes, or challenge ideas, without fear of embarrassment or punishment. It became a boardroom priority after Google's landmark Project Aristotle study found it to be the single most important factor separating high-performing teams from the rest. Daniela Landherr's approach is distinctive because she has lived both sides of it: she spent fifteen years inside Google, where that research originated, and now, through her advisory The Human Space, she helps leaders put it into practice. Rather than treating psychological safety as a slogan, she makes it tangible and measurable, drawing on systems psychodynamics, trust science, and executive coaching to help leaders surface what goes unspoken, shift their own behavior from telling to asking, and build cultures where candor and courage become the norm, "amplifying psychological safety at scale," as she puts it.
