Diversity brings significant benefits to team performance and organisational effectiveness. However, it can also challenge existing levels of trust—especially when individuals unconsciously tend to trust those who are most similar to themselves. In this workshop, we will explore practical tools and strategies that help counteract this instinct and support mutual understanding and trust-building among team members. The session focuses on moving beyond stereotypes and unconscious biases that we all carry, and offers participants the skills to foster deeper connection, collaboration, and cohesion in any diverse group.
