How the Building Trust Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Step 1: Check-in and Frame
Set a safe tone by having participants share their names and feelings. Establish ground rules for the session and explain the two sides of trust.
2Step 2: What Builds and Breaks Trust
Create a shared understanding of trust dynamics by listing behaviors that build or dent trust. Facilitate a discussion to identify key behaviors relevant to the team.
3Step 3: Getting to Know Each Other
Utilize a circle method for guided sharing where participants listen without interruption. Use Trust Prompt Cards to encourage deeper connections among team members.
4Step 4: Small, Safe Risks
Practice small acts of openness in trios, where each member shares a concern or request for help. This builds trust through supportive responses and genuine sharing.
