I view trust as a two-way street, but it is my responsibility to establish trust first. I also take the position that I will trust another until such time as they demonstrate that they are not to be trusted, that “I’m Ok and you’re Ok”. Trust is contagious—if I act in a trustworthy way as the coach, then the client is more than likely to do the same. If I say I will do something and keep that commitment then the client will also keep their commitment tackle a task, write in their journal or take an action.

If you are a coach, how do you develop, build trust with your clients?

Without the willingness to grow and understand new perspectives, leaders risk stagnation and losing relevance in a rapidly changing world. Learning enriches leaders with the tools they need to inspire and guide others, fostering innovation and resilience. Watch this weeks vlog to learn more….
