I was in the "Leading at the Speed of Trust" speech by Stephen Covey. I was deeply inspired. When people live what they preach, I know it because I hear ind feel it. It’s not a speech any more; it’s a sharing from the heart.

I learned

- Trust starts with self-trust.

- It takes risk to trust and it also takes risk not to trust.

- When trust is in place, employees work in a positive energy and are more productive.

- Building trust is the number 1 competency of leadership.

- Character and competency are the two main elements of earning trust.

- Integrity, intent, capability and result are core credibility.

- Listening with the intent to understand instead of the intent of replying can help building trust.

- Starting with trust is a better way to build relationship.

What I am reflecting

- What’s my ability to inspire trust in those around me?

- Do I want to build trust with the ones who are not in alignment with my values?
