Mouse Traps to Build Trust




Trust Trap Sequence

Overview:
Participants are asked to choose a partner. Each participant is given a mouse trap. They are then walked through and shown the proper steps on safely loading and unloading a mousetrap. The partnerships are led though a series of initiatives loading and unloading mouse traps, each more challenging than the last

Outcomes:
This initiative is a powerful and exciting way to establish trust between teams. Each participant must trust, support and coach their partner for success to occur. Creating a clear line of communication and establishing a shared language, clarifying sent and received messages, as well giving control to someone besides your self are parts of the Trust Trap Sequence.
