What helps to spark social synergy in the workplace? Trust. Trust that if mistakes are made, we'll learn from them together. Trust that if one of the team members is struggling to meet expectations, they'll be offered support and coaching rather than blame and condemnation. ... Trust that all team members, regardless of their place on the organizational chart, will look out for the best interest of the group rather than themselves. We can create an environment where trust is fostered through the actions we take every day... What are some of the ways you help to build trust in the workplace?

Spent yesterday evening delivering a team development training to an incredible group of local professionals! Many laughs, great discussion and a whole lot of "aha!" moments. It's amazing the magic that can happen when we spark synergy within our respective teams!
