Building Trust Workshop

A team development workshop focused on trust, accountability and working relationships

What is the Building Trust workshop?

The Building Trust Workshop is a facilitated team development workshop that helps teams strengthen trust by understanding how different Thinking and Behavioral preferences build or erode confidence over time.

Trust is not a soft concept. It directly impacts collaboration, accountability, engagement and performance. This workshop gives teams practical tools to intentionally build and sustain trust across diverse work styles.

Why trust matters

When trust breaks down:

  • Communication becomes guarded 
  • Accountability weakens
  • Conflict escalates
  • Performance suffers

This workshop helps teams move beyond assumptions and address trust in a structured, strengths-based way.
