March Chapter Meeting

Vivian Jenkins Nelsen
Presents:
Trust: An Essential Handbook



Earning 1.75 Core Competency CCEU's

At this moment in time, trust is missing in interpersonal and intergroup relations. Globally, nationally, and personally, we are struggling to find our way toward trust versus fear. Race relations are a prime example. Science is another. We have little trust in our leaders—in government, media, political parties, and the list goes on.  Our nation is struggling to know who to trust in public health matters—in fighting Covid. How will we get to reconciliation? What is your trust profile? Are you trustworthy? How do you know. Vivian Jenkins Nelsen will explore the building blocks of trust for you and those you work with and serve. She believes we need a trust revolution.
