Trust - what is it, how do we build it and can we rebuild it once it's broken?

We tend to think that we either trust or don't trust someone, which can make some relationships extremely tricky, especially if we have someone we don't trust in our life, or at work.

But what if isn't a case of simply trusting or not trusting? For example, I trust my wife completely, yet I wouldn't trust her to do brain surgery on me. There's clearly some limit to my trust of her!

I might trust my manager to pay me on time and back me up in a meeting, but I am also sure that he doesn't care about me as a person. Is that trust? What are the limits of that trust?

When someone lets us down, do we simply have to write off that friendship? Is that person no longer trustworthy?

We're going to learn the different parts to trust and how to use them. It's an amazing skill that gives us the power to improve relationships, or simply to avoid situations where we can be let down.

And what do we do when we've let someone down? How can we start to rebuild that trust? How do we make ourselves more trustworthy?

This is one of the most powerful life skills that I've ever learned, based on the work of Charles Feltzman and Brene Brown.

Here's what a couple of people said about the last one:
"Great meetup to start the new year, I loved absolutely every single part of it. Anthony is a very good host, I felt safe and included at all time and the social at the end was a plus. Thank you!" - Christina

"Absolutely brilliant and so refreshing. The simple steps worked for me and in an hour I made more progress than in the last 5 years on certain goals I've been chasing - I found 3 new ones that have proper basis. Excellent delivery and setting and a great group of really interesting people." - Alex

What you need to know:
1. Meet upstairs in the Pitcher & Piano (I am looking for a better venue though)
2. Starting promptly at 18:30, so please arrive ten minutes earlier.
3. The workshop will last 1 hour.
4. There won't be an Introduce Yourself Circle
5. You won't be expect to talk, but please do engage with any exercises
6. It is introvert friendly!

Trigger Warning:
Whenever we are looking at learning more about ourselves and asking awkward questions, there is a risk that it is going to bring up things that feel triggering. Please take care to keep yourself safe. A group environment is not suitable for tackling deep level emotional issues - save those for your therapy sessions.

Social Time:
After the workshop, we will be switching to a social event with the intention of meeting new people and making new friends. If this isn't your thing, please feel free to leave - there won't be any judgment. I've run a lot of these social events and they are a fantastic way to meet new people in the city.
