Per Webster: trust (verb): to believe in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of || trust (noun): a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something

Join Bri & V on a winding journey around what trust really is, how they’ve built it personally & professionally and how they’ve dealt with broken trust. As usual, it touches on the actionable as well as the philosophical; so buckle up for a ride! The ladies get personal with their stories and how they’ve woven  their presonal upbringings + learnings have become infused with their professional personas.

The meat & potatoes of this episode is 42 minutes and after the outro, feel free to listen longer for actionable steps to build trust in the workplace [semi blooper situation].

Viki’s signposts for when she’s doing the work of trust:


Feeling of safety when requesting support at work [instead of burdening self with doing it all!]
Actively seeking out more opportunities → which means she’s not burnt out & boundaries are in place + working
Curiosity is being encouraged
Viewing mistakes as learnings, as opposed to failures

Actionable steps to building trust in the workplace:


2 ears, 1 mouth → [listen to hear] then, ask questions
Be real about giving / receiving feedback
Acknowledgement
Empowerment fueled by trust
Encouragement of professional development
Emotional Intelligence
BE TRUST FIRST and model it. Then it will be mirrored back
