Members who have lost their confidence or who have not reached this stage might miss most of the session. I love building trust because relationships are built on trust and being trustworthy is one of my core values. For groups to thrive, members must trust each other and the leaders. If the group has confidence in itself and its leaders, there will be peace in the group and conflicts will be reduced. Likewise, where there is trust during the transition phase, members rely on each other and take risks. Feelings are knowledge and expressed. Members speak directly to each other and there are no hidden agendas. I think trust is very important in any relationship. Reading and learning about trust will help me behave and alert me when my group is not functioning as it should.
