Organizational Trust

Cultivating Authenticity, Commitment & Collaboration

April 22-23, 2008
Ottawa, Ontario

Effective leaders bring out the best in others. They understand that organizations are made up of networks of conversation, and that engaging these networks skillfully is a core leadership competence. These leaders are able to form warm and caring relationships and set the tone for authentic conversation. They cultivate high-performing teams and a collaborative culture, where people are able to work together effectively even in the midst of conflict and controversy.

In this workshop, you will learn skills and practices that build high levels of alignment, trust, and team-work through authentic conversation. You will practice the art of making requests and offers, negotiating commitments, resolving conflicts, and valuing a diversity of personal styles and approaches. You will build self-awareness about your own relating style, and the patterns of your "inner operating system" that directly impact synergy, trust, and collaboration in the workplace.
