Building Teams That Trust PACS025
What is trust? How is it created, destroyed, repaired and maintained? Understanding the nature of trust affords us the opportunity to harness its strength. Teams that trust are more productive; give their best work freely and enjoy doing
so; they move cohesively and creatively to achieve results; engage in healthy, productive con ict; and commit to shared goals and accountability.
Take away practical, fun, and experiential tools and skills required to build trust within teams, across departments and throughout organizations.

The Career Shift:
Translating Your Skills into a New Context
PACS028
You were an employee, now you are self-employed. You were
a manager, now you are a director. You were in the home, now you are in an organization. Often, we assume we must learn entirely new skills for a new role, or worse, that we can continue as before. Making any career shift requires time, energy, and focus to translate
and integrate the old into the new. Identify existing skills, translate and reshape them into new applications and contexts.
