This Is Trust (Hint-There Are Zero Leaps)

Often enough, I hear from clients in all roles and ages, that “all we/I need is trust”. There is no single factor or simple answer or approach to accomplishing that. Trust is the sum of many connected factors and variables. It’s individual and situational. Big factors such as character, competency and relationships interact and are connected. Communication plays a huge role in relationship strength. The degrees of consistency we demonstrate in all the above will add or subtract from our trust bank. Finally, our varied levels of emotional IQ, especially self-awareness, fuel these factors.

As you seek to build trust, reflect on which factors you need to put greater weight on. They are all vital. But sometimes, certain ones demand greater attention. Know which ones matter most in your circumstances.
