. Booker T. Washington said it well: "Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him." In a workplace where trust is a true strength, people team up and work together because they want to, not because they have to. It's about commitment rather than compliance. This session lifts up the hood and looks closely at what trust really means -- and how it works when it works best. Participants hear real stories that show the power of trust in its many forms. They engage in activities that bring key points to life. And they learn what they can do right now to increase the trust level in their own work environment -- for the good of themselves, their colleagues and teams, and the people they serve. As the session unfolds, people see the benefits of: Viewing trust as a reciprocal proposition -- the best way to get it is by giving it. Trading the efficiency of high tech for the effectiveness of high touch. Learning how to say what you mean and mean what you say. Opting for dialogue over discussion. Being the best kind of "spy" and "gossip," knowing that the stories we tell end up shaping our workplace culture. Closing the gap between "us" and "them." Trust can be a nebulous topic that leads to endless philosophical conversation. This session takes a practical angle. It supplies ideas and tools that people can put to work immediately.
