This experiential training is designed for practice owners seeking to explore the role of trust in leadership, decision-making, and business development. Grounded in the concepts presented in Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud, participants will engage in a structured two-part learning process that integrates didactic preparation with in-person experiential application.
Participants will complete pre-work by reading Trust and demonstrating comprehension through a required quiz. The in-person retreat will take place at Trinity Challenge in Haslet, Texas, where participants will engage in facilitated discussions, reflective exercises, and adventure-based experiential activities designed to surface and examine trust dynamics in real time.
Through guided reflection and group process, participants will explore how trust impacts leadership effectiveness, relational dynamics, delegation, and organizational growth. This training is designed to provide both insight and practical application, allowing participants to identify patterns that may support or hinder their effectiveness as practice owners.
