Rebuilding Trust Through Small Commitments • WorkshopBank
Rebuilding Trust Through Small Commitments • WorkshopBank is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Goal: Set the tone that trust is rebuilt through action, not talk, and ground the team in what they will create today.
- If the team has done a Temperature Check, briefly reference what emerged: "In the Temperature Check, trust came up as a key concern. Today we turn that insight into action."
- Set one ground rule: "We focus on what we can control. We cannot force trust. But we can practice trustworthy behaviour and see what changes."
- Outline the session: define trust behaviours, create micro-commitments, design follow-through, commit publicly.
