Building Trust in Leadership
In today’s complex and rapidly changing work environment, trust is not a luxury, but a necessity. This workshop delves into the critical role of trust in creating psychological safety and driving high performance. Participants will learn to:

Apply Brené Brown’s BRAVING Model: Learn and practice the seven key elements of building trust: Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, Nonjudgment, and Generosity, as defined by Brené Brown.
Recognise the Impact of Trust on Psychological Safety: Understand how trust creates an environment where individuals feel safe to take risks, share ideas, and be vulnerable.
Develop Practical Strategies for Building Trust: Through discussions, role-playing, and case study analysis, participants will learn actionable techniques for fostering trust in their teams.
