HR has successfully earned its place in the organization as the keeper of culture and all strong cultures are based on trust.

In this session we'll be exploring many aspects of trust, including:
- What a Trust P&L is
- Unpacking trust, including situational factors, neuroscience, and behavioral science
- Rebuilding trust
- Communication and trust

Valerie Atkin founded Wells Street Consulting in 1991 to assist in the development of balanced, effective individuals who are able to create successful organizations. She works with people who are serious about accomplishing their objectives. She believes much in life is taken too seriously and research supports the fact that fun builds mutual trust and enhances productivity. She’s honest about what she can’t do or doesn’t believe will create value.

Before founding Wells Street, she held a variety of positions including: Organizational Analyst at DuPont; Manager of Development at Stauffer Chemical; National Accounts Manager at Zenger Miller; and Regional Vice President at MOHR Development. She has served as Marketing Chair on the International Enneagram Association Board of Directors; president of the University of Michigan Museum of Art Friends Board; vice president of the Saugatuck Douglas Historical Society; Member Experience Chair on Impact 100 Traverse City Board; and supports fundraising for the Enneagram Prison Project. She has a great sense of humor about almost everything except University of Michigan football.
