Trust.  

It's not the most comfortable topic.   When people say they don't trust someone, what does that mean?  How do I work with someone I don't trust?  How can I foster trust in those who work with me?

Not only is trust hard for us to talk about, but also, we often assume it's a topic that's hard to define and harder to do anything about.

Yet research and several recent books have shown, trust, this big topic surrounded by emotion and risk, is actually quantifiable and definable and is definitely something we can and should do something about.

Attendees of UVAForward 2019 will have an opportunity to learn about the importance of trust and how to grow it within our work environment.    Rose Markey,  Senior Learning & Development Consultant with UVA HR's Talent Development Team will present "The Pursuit of Trust" at a breakout session.  

Trust is a hot topic currently, with books such as Stephen M.R. Covey's The Speed of Trust, Richard Fagerlin's Trustology, and many works and talks by Brene Brown drawing mass attention.

In her session, Markey will walk through the seven elements of trust, based on research by noted trust  & vulnerability expert Brene Brown, and apply those concepts to both self-trust and trust within teams and groups.  Markey says the second half of her session takes the discussion into a highly practical realm, covering how to have healthy dialogue and share your perspective with other people.

Markey has over 25 years of experience in human resources and has been a trainer and professional speaker for many years.  In September, she will complete training to become a certified facilitator of Brene Brown's  Daring Way methodology.  The UVAForward team is excited for her to bring her experience and wisdom on this important topic.

"I want to provide people with the tools so they can have successful conversations when the stakes are really high -- helping them get unstuck, master their own stories, and deal with their own motives before they start talking," Markey said.

If you haven't already, make plans to attend UVAForward 2019!
