Close Your Eyes and Trust Your Team to Guide You
Trust Walk is one of the most direct trust exercises there is. Blindfolded participants are guided through a course, or a series of gentle obstacles, by their teammates, so they have to place their safety and progress entirely in the hands, and voices, of others.
Stripping away sight changes everything. Guides have to give clear, calm, reassuring instructions, and the blindfolded partner has to let go of control and trust what they hear, which quickly reveals both how much trust exists in a team and how it is built.
Swapping roles lets everyone feel both guiding and being guided, and the debrief draws out lessons about trust, clear communication and reliance that carry straight back to the workplace. Simple to run, it delivers a surprisingly profound experience.
A facilitator explains the course and pairs or groups participants, briefing the guides on their role.
