BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Celia Slater, owner and founder of True North Sports and the Coach Development Academy, will present “How to Build Team Trust: It All Starts with You” to attendees of the 2022 NFHCA Annual Convention.
Trust is a consistent issue on teams and between people. Many people say it is one of the most important factors for success and yet very few people can describe it, define it, or assess what they are doing to build trust or destroy trust within their team or work culture. In this session Slater will discuss trust, define it, and share some of the best resources out there that can help build trust with others and maybe, even more importantly, how to build it with ourselves.
Coaches will be able to attend Slater’s session in the afternoon on Wednesday, January 12, 2022.
