WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Our ability to trust others is essential for our individual as well as collective well-being. Meanwhile, studies done by Pew Research Center, Gallup, Survey Monkey, and other organizations show that Americans are having increasingly more difficulties doing just that - trusting. Trusting institutions, trusting media, trusting neighbors (especially in diverse neighborhoods) is on decline. Millennials find it harder than senior citizens to trust others. Mistrust of police is at record high among people of color.
Survey conducted by the American Psychological Association shows that as a nation we became more anxious in the last few months than we have been since APA first started measuring our anxiety levels 10 years ago. All of that means that building trust in diverse workplaces and communities has a great degree of importance and urgency.
We will ignite our collective wisdom to search for practical solutions.
Upon conclusion of the session, participants will know how:
OBJECTIVES:
- Identify cultural and personal trust-building models;
- Recognize differences between reality-based and bias-based obstacles to building trust
- Generate practical ideas and solutions applicable for their workplace or community
