Workshops

Trust & Connect

Length: Half day (3 hours) or full day (6 hours)

Format: In person (preferred) or virtual

Overview:

Culture dissonance happens when the culture a company talks about is not the culture people actually experience. This inconsistency triggers apathy at best, and fear at worst. When our experience doesn’t match our positive expectation, trust erodes and self-preservation behavior takes over. People make decisions based on their own interests, they hide mistakes and protect their ideas. This is not the foundation upon which to build or grow an organization.

The solution is to build trust & connection through culture congruence - when the culture a company talks about is the same culture people actually experience. This happens when people take individual responsibility for their contribution to the culture they’re a part of.

During this interactive session, participants will explore, and learn how to apply, three vital leadership traits that create culture congruence:

• Honesty - Behaving in alignment with stated values and beliefs and taking responsibility when we veer off course

• Humility - Recognizing both our strengths and weaknesses without letting ego take over

• Humanity - Showing people they are valued and valuable and creating a meaningful experience for them

Culture congruence builds trust in leaders and the organization as a whole. Trust leads to deeper relationships, a sense of belonging and greater discretionary effort. When we create this type of environment to take care of our people, our people will take care of the business through higher performance, engagement, communication, innovation, retention, well-being and more.
