In part of two of my conversation with ex-colleague and UK special forces sergeant major Gaz Banford, Gaz shares his wisdom on how to create a resilient, high trust culture within your organisation.

He breaks down the crucial components underpinning resilient, high trust teams and intelligent ways for overcoming the constraints experienced in corporate environments.

He also shares what it takes to lead a resilient, high trust team and the common challenges you’re likely to experience in building one.

Last but not least, Gaz breaks down the myth that companies can’t develop a level of connection, trust and belonging on par with Special Forces teams, despite a lack of life or death scenarios and far less time together.

You can expect to understand;

- How to build and lead resilient, high trust teams

- How to sustainably maintain high standards

- How to effectively manage and even benefit from conflict

- And how to develop a deep level of connection, trust and belonging within your team
