Cory Scheer – President and CEO of TrustCentric Consulting, author
If trust is so important for personal and professional relationships, why is it in such short supply? If trust is an inarguable universal truth, why does it seem so difficult to define and even more difficult to measure? If trust is vital for employee retention, team productivity, and a healthy workplace culture, why is there a growing epidemic of distrust in all industries?

Cory Scheer – President and CEO of TrustCentric Consulting, author
This session will delve into the vital truth about the current condition of workplace trust and how to take action on strengthening it. Drawing from his doctoral research, national research, 25+ years in professional leadership experiences, and various national and international client engagements, Cory will share how trust is definable, measurable, vital, and actionable. Cory will share how the pervasive decline of organizational trust and the ever-widening leader to employee trust gap can be assessed, addressed and improved with research-based and strategic solutions. You will walk away with a deeper understanding of why trust is so vitally important, a practical and memorable trust framework, and proven methods to take action on strengthening trust to create a world-class workplace culture.
