In a world that feels more uncertain every day, trust keeps people, communities, and societies working together. How can we build, deepen, and repair this keystone of connection? Rachel Botsman joins Helen Barrett with her insights.

Trust is a word we use a lot. But have you ever learned how to make smart decisions about trust? How to earn the trust of other people? Or, how to repair trust when it breaks down?

Rachel Botsman has helped the world’s brightest minds change the way they think about trust. She returns to How To Academy for a conversation with the FT’s Helen Barrett, delving into why trust is so essential—how it changes behaviour, shapes cultures, and fosters open communication to solve problems. Drawing on real-world examples, Helen and Rachel will guide us through the dynamics of trust: challenging our assumptions, teaching us how to develop as individuals and team players — and ultimately helping us experience the profound impact mutual trust can have on our lives.

Join us and discover the transformative power of trust and learn five actionable principles to build, repair, and strengthen trust in your personal and professional life.
