Reflect
What do the words "I trust you" mean to you?
What are some risks of being led?
Are you a trust giver or a trust earner?
When have you been treated unfairly by a leader, and what did it do to your trust in them?
What: What lesson(s) are you taking away from today?
So what: Why does it matter for how you lead?
Now what: What will you do differently?
