The true goal of a cohesive and effective team is to build trust-based relationships that foster collaboration, shared responsibility, and continuous performance improvement. However, team dynamics are never perfect—competition, conflicts, and misunderstandings can make it challenging to build and maintain the trust needed to work toward common goals.

How can we promote interpersonal trust in the workplace? How can we balance individuality and teamwork? What is the most effective method for working in a team?

By combining sports experiences, applied psychology, and practical advice, this session will provide an opportunity to reflect on how to build a more cohesive, productive, and success-oriented work environment.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• reflect on team spirit through the experiences of Marco Mordente and Martina Favaretto. Marco will share his success story in basketball, a purely team sport, highlighting the key role that relationships among teammates played. Martina will then discuss her transition from an individual athlete to a team member, offering insights on how to balance individuality and collaboration to achieve collective success
• explore the psychological mechanisms of trust with Gennaro Romagnoli. The session will examine the three levels of trust, as well as concepts such as interpersonal attunement and psychological safety. Best practices will also be shared to help develop personal awareness and promote collaboration within teams, improving workplace dynamics and, as a result, overall performance.
