INTRODUCTION

Trust is the ultimate foundation in the relationship that all workplaces build with their stakeholders. Trust allows an organization to attract and develop great talent, to strengthen their ability to face regular challenges, and to achieve strategy beyond today. Trust-building is like fitness training, and like fitness, strengthening the trust muscle is ongoing and a life-long focus for employees and those in leadership. Our Building Trust Using Emotional Intelligence program will show you how to explore levels of trust from individual, team, and organizational perspectives. This highly interactive program features small and large group interactions, with opportunities to share knowledge and experiences. You’ll participate in important conversations about trust myths, facts, and research, and have the opportunity to leverage feedback from experts and fellow participants as you develop a trust fitness plan for your organization.
