Strong trust transforms into engagement, commitment, accountability, innovation, performance, and, ultimately, results that exceed expectations. When people trust each other, ideas and information flow effortlessly and they initiate action to get the right things done quickly and with quality.
When people don’t trust each other they avoid the difficult conversations necessary to deal with challenging issues. When they don’t have enough trust to honestly engage with each other, people don’t fully commit to the vision. Yet, strong trust brings success and wellbeing to the work. If you want a culture that is engaging, accountable, innovative and results oriented, then starting with helping individuals and teams understand the keys of trust and putting them into action is a great first step.
This workshop is based on the proven trust building model described in Feltman’s Thin Book of Trust which focuses on four dimensions: Sincerity, Reliability, Competence, and Care. Understanding and application of these four dimensions of trust allow people to see the behaviors that build or break trust. It takes trust from an often emotionally charged event to specific actions that can be identified and practiced to build and maintain trust, or to repair it when it’s been damaged.
This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of building, maintaining and restoring trust.
