Description: DBIA National Leadership Building Block - Trust

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED PRE-REQUISITE "LEADERSHIP - BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION"  PRIOR TO REGISTERING FOR THIS COURSE

• Everyone knows that trust is essential in Design-Build Done Right, but we haven’t really had a way to capture what that means in a useful and practical way.
• In this session we will take is deep dive into the 4 factors of trust—Humanity, Transparency, Capability, and Reliability and discuss how to build on these distinct factors to build trusting relationships both internally and externally.
• We will discuss the elements of each of the factors and discuss how they can be measured to assess where an organization or individual fits on the trust scale and how to improve that standing.
• We will look at trust from 2 distinct perspectives—trust from a client perspective and trust from a workforce or team perspective.
• We’ll also discuss some of the demographics of trust and why some individuals and groups are more trusting than others.

The DBIA Virtual Training classroom is not an “online” experience, but instead a true “virtual” experience. It allows remote attendees a real-time participant experience, fully engaged with their instructor and others in the classroom. Full engagement is critical As such, the following is required for those joining the classroom virtually:

• You MUST have video/camera capability on the computer you will be using;
• You MUST keep your video/camera on during the entirety of the training (you may turn it off during breaks and lunch). Each participant is expected to be visible as a class participant throughout the training, just as it would be if you were physically in the classroom;
• Please find a quiet location that will have minimal distractions/disturbances;
• Please Mute your microphone when you are not speaking; and
• Remain in the virtual classroom during class activities as they, too, will take place virtually and you are expected to participate.

DBIA instructors and staff will actively monitor your attendance and reserve to right to decline issuance of a certificate of completion should virtual attendees not actively participate based on the rules above.
