Trainers Toolbox Podcast
Building trust and connection at the beginning of your workshop
Episode Description:
Connection before content; it’s not just a phrase, it’s the foundation of effective learning. In this episode of the Trainers Toolbox Podcast, we dive into the subtle art of building trust and connection right from the start of your workshop. You’ll learn why the first moments with your participants matter so much, and how small actions can make a big difference. Tune in to discover practical tools to create a space where learners feel safe, seen, and ready to engage.
What we explore:
✅ Why trust and connection are essential for learning to happen
✅ How to build psychological safety from the very first minutes
