In this episode of the 'Impactful Teamwork' podcast, host Julia Felton delves into the vital role of trust in team dynamics, sharing a personal story about rescuing and building trust with two horses, Bracken and Thistle.

Julia explains how lessons learned from her equine experiences can be translated into business strategies using the ABCD model of trust by Ken Blanchard—Able, Believable, Connected, and Dependable. The episode explores the impact of trust on employee engagement, productivity, and relationship-building, especially in today's remote and hybrid work environments. Julia encourages leaders to reflect on their methods for fostering trust and offers insights into equine-facilitated leadership development.
