…and leaves on horseback (Dutch proverb).
“Trust is like a piece of paper. Once crumpled, it’s never perfect again.”

Trust is an essential value in every company. Trust within the team is the most common answer to the question: “What was the reason for success in your best project?”
Trust is also the most common answer to: “What defines good leadership at its core?”

If trust is so important, that should be reason enough to take a closer look at how to gain trust and how to lose trust.

And not just in general, but specifically how that looks for YOU.

No one intentionally wants to lose trust. But that’s how it is with many things. We don’t want it – but unfortunately, sometimes it happens anyway. It happens unconsciously.
Therefore, it is all the more important to become aware of the unconscious. Some people say: that’s “eh” a life goal in itself.

Disloyalty, selfishness, control freak, dishonesty, blame game, conflict avoidance, negativity, solitary decisions, emotional reactions, and when words are not matched by actions.
All “excellent” opportunities to lose trust.

Which of these traps do you tend to fall into more often, and which less?

I live in a small Upper Bavarian village. For hundreds of years, it has been tradition that the mayor is a local resident. Now, it’s an East Frisian. When I asked the carpenter from the municipal council why this was the case, he gave me the following answer: “He wears our Gwoand (Bavarian clothing) and he does what he says.” Plain and simple.

He follows up his words with actions. He shows his connection through his clothing (Lederhose) and practices the dialect, although it’s genuinely difficult for him and sometimes sounds amusing.

Gaining trust by avoiding losing it is already a significant achievement.

Furthermore, we can build and maintain trust through warmth, transparency, commitment, connection, inner strength, and acceptance.

In this training, you will become aware of which of these approaches apply to YOU.
