Description
The Trust Dialogue Goal
This real-world Trust Dialogue Team-Building Exercise aims to increase and sustain teammates’ trust in one another.
This is an effective and impactful exercise.
If you are not already an experienced team-building facilitator, it is recommended you ask a qualified facilitator to lead this exercise. There is a slight possibility it could upset some teammate relationships rather than improve them.
That said, when the workshop is correctly set up, and teammates are emotionally and psychologically ready, this exercise, conducted in an all-hands meeting, will become one of the best team-building practices you have ever witnessed.
All you need to know for setting up and facilitating this workshop is in this booklet.
- This is a one-on-one breakout exercise conducted in an all-hands team meeting.
- One week before the all-hands team meeting, the team leader and facilitator conduct a teammate preparation meeting to prepare teammates for the exercise by completing the Trust Dialogue Worksheet
- At the beginning of the all-hands team meeting, the facilitator will present, clarify and gain agreement to achieve the outcomes
- Next, teammates will be instructed to begin conducting their dialogues

Hello fellow teammates! Dan Hogan here. I’m the co-creator of Right-Minded Teamwork.
I used the “Trust Dialogue” team-building exercise ten times over my three-decade career. It worked every time. Suggestion: use a facilitator instead of self-facilitating the exercise.
