Building Foundational Trust
Three lenses on trust: self-awareness, building trust with others, and team psychological safety
Virtual or in-person
About this workshop
Trust is the bedrock upon which all high performing teams are built. This workshop takes three lenses on trust: self-awareness, how to build trust with others, and psychological safety.
Neuroscience research shows that psychological safety is the foundation of high-performing teams. With colleagues collaborating through screens and AI tools, intentional trust-building matters more than ever. This workshop gives managers the self-awareness and tools to create genuine connection, even in distributed settings.
Participants walk away with tangible next steps to engender trust and encourage (the right kind of) risk-taking on their team.
