<p>Lack of trust presents a host of challenges and can ultimately derail the effectiveness of an otherwise talented team.</p>
<p>But, in order to trust people, you first have to connect with them. And in order to connect with them, you have to be open.</p>
<p>It takes courage and vulnerability to connect. The results though are worth it.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to sharing more about the relationship between connection and trust in an upcoming webinar titled “Shades of Trust: Real Conversations on Connection, Character &amp; Compassion.” The event is free and features a wonderful panel of speakers.</p>
