WIZDOMS FOR BUILDING TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS
- Don’t let your judgement get in the way. Trust can’t be built where judgement is present.
- Find yourself a collaborative entourage. This is group of people that you help and support, and that also help and support you. The relationship should be reciprocal.
- Be curious about people. When we are interested and curious about other people, we begin to build trust.
- Before letting someone in to your entourage, asses their commitment. Will this person do whatever it takes to keep their promise even when times are rough? Are they going to be there for me?
- Learn to be a good listener. 50% of communication is listening. Do more listening and less talking.
- Make yourself available and approachable. Make it easy for people to reach out to you for help.
- Look for honorable intent or honorable motive. Does this person have a genuine interest in helping you?
