What's Trust Got to Do With It?
Ed Frauenheim, Sarah Elizabeth Perry, Jamie Dowden
Come to this virtual session to check-in, get real and dance your way to better connections at work and home. Feeling like a zoombie? We’ll play with the virtual meeting tool to share how we’re doing and what we’re dreaming of during these difficult times. Then we’ll talk about what it means to bring our “whole” selves to work these days—which often means bringing our whole self home. Key to feeling authentic, during a pandemic and beyond, is trusting relationships. We’ll end by exploring and developing our Trust Mindset. Our assumptions and attitudes about trust shape how well you connect to family members, friends and colleagues. Heady stuff, but we’ll get there through the body: you’ll learn a dance and get to boogie to Justin Timberlake. What’s trust got to do with it? Plenty, and we’ll have fun exploring the topic.
