Speed of Trust® Training
In a trusting environment people feel good; they do not have to spend their time negotiating lengthy contracts or following up to make sure things are done. Trust is speed. Speed is a competitive advantage and produces results.
Trust is a requirement for successful governments, businesses and personal relationships. In an environment where change is constant, virtual teams are the norm, diversity is prevalent and all are expected to do more with less, trust is the common denominator of project speed and success.
Speed of Trust® is a one-day discovery learning board simulation and other learning modules based on Stephen M. R. Covey’s book of the same title.

The Speed of Trust® teaches participants practical and actionable skills the learner can implement immediately regardless of his or her role in the organization. This highly interactive Business Simulation engages leaders at all levels in the real work of identifying and closing the trust gaps that exist in many organizations. Instead of continuing to pay an outrageous trust tax™, they can begin to realize the great benefits of a trust dividend™ both personally and organizationally.
This creates an opportunity for individuals to prepare themselves to fill the leadership shortage and provides a proven process for companies to increase the bench strength of their organization by developing critical leadership skills in their key people. The Speed of Trust® dramatically enhances leadership capability by teaching The 13 Behaviors of High Trust Leaders and how to imbed them into their daily interactions.

Speed of Trust Simulation
Leaders are grouped in table teams. Each table team leads a team for the simulation. They are introduced to their team through profile cards. Their challenge is to manage a project to market on time and on budget, while building a high-trust culture. As they are faced with scenarios and decisions, they must determine the impact on their relationship with each team member and stakeholder and on project time and budget. One key message in the program is that trust always impacts two quantifiable outcomes: Speed and Cost. Cost is certainly measured in financial terms but also in terms of personal energy and resource usage. The formula introduced is that as trust increases, speed increases and cost decreases. Conversely, as trust decreases, speed decreases and cost increases.
