Trust has been cited as the “highest form of human motivation” (Stephen Covey). This workshop is aimed at managers and teams in order to maximise trust, motivation and personal, as well as organisational, development. The objective is to encourage leadership behaviour that fosters trust into the organisation.

Participants will undertake their own Personal Trust Evaluation; aimed at generating reflection on their relationships with others, this will be followed by open floor discussion of ways to build trust within the professional environment.

The core of the session revolves around Aquitude’s 4-step process: “You – know – trusting – relationships”:

• Trust begins with YOU: foster reliability and authenticity
• KNOW who you can trust: examine who do and don’t trust and why
• TRUSTING requires overcoming personal barriers: remove your barriers; work with integrity and take principled stands
• Successful RELATIONSHIPS are based on openness and integrity: embrace inclusion and open communication

The team will undertake practical, interactive trust-building exercises to actively ascertain the subliminal power of trust, pushing their own boundaries and removing any limiting beliefs affecting trust.

Participants will leave with:

• Self-reflection on their relationships with others
• Understanding of the powerful benefit of increasing trust as a basis for respectful and open communication
• An insight into their own (conscious and subconscious) personal barriers in trusting others
• The opportunity to understand how to leverage trust and create trusting rapport
• A practical methodology to enhance trust and inter-personal rapport, positively impacting their success as communicators
• Confidence for quick rapport-building with external stakeholders and other influencers to ensure delivery
