Be trusted

Caught in a trap? Discover the fastest way to change suspicious minds.

Selling, leading, persuading or seducing; most things are easier when we’re trusted. Building that trust can take time, especially when someone’s been let down before. Unfortunately, time is a luxury we often don’t have.

When we want to build trust fast, there’s no use making endless promises. We need to anticipate the other person’s concerns and fix them before they even register. In this Live action you’ll practise gaining trust faster than you can say ‘bank on it’.

Example scenarios

Your team is going to be relocated, but you’ve had to keep this quiet until now. You assured a new recruit this wouldn’t happen in order to stave off rumours, but now you need to tell them the truth. How can you rebuild trust?

You’ve been sent abroad to help finish off a long-running project. Your colleague has been working on the project for months, is not sure that you will add any value and has a completely different way of working. How can you get them to trust that you’re a help not a hindrance?
