The Trust Factor: Creating Win/Win Relationships

Dramatically increase your effectiveness with others as you learn the principles and skills of trust and interpersonal dialogue.

“…for trust is at the core of all business activity; virtually all economic activity is carried out by groups of people who depend on each other.” -Robert Bruce Shaw, Trust in the Balance

When trust is absent, relationships are characterized by an adversarial attitude: me vs. you; us vs. them. Rather than goodwill, there are deep and hidden animosities. Respect is lost and our performance is compromised as our energies go into manipulation and protection rather than working together towards a shared vision.

We believe that the most successful organizations of the 21st century will be those that know how to create a climate of trust and goodwill among their employees.
