Building TRUST in the Workplace
Wednesday, November 2, 4 pm
During this one hour interactive workshop, we will consider different scenarios of trust in the workplace, identifying key conditions that foster it and the leadership competencies needed to create a culture of trust and accountability. We will begin at the self level and expand to leadership in the workplace. Participants will leave with a complimentary Everything DiSC® Workplace Assessment code (valued at $85!), which is a science-backed tool for developing social and emotional competencies for all levels of an organization.
Jessi Kirley, founder of Jkirley Collective, will facilitate.
Please REGISTER to attend this free workshop.
