Join Bri & V on a winding journey around what trust really is, how they’ve built it personally & professionally and how they’ve dealt with broken trust. As usual, it touches on the actionable as well as the philosophical; so buckle up for a ride! The ladies get personal with their stories and how they’ve woven  their presonal upbringings + learnings have become infused with their professional personas.

The meat & potatoes of this episode is 42 minutes and after the outro, feel free to listen longer for actionable steps to build trust in the workplace [semi blooper situation].

Viki’s signposts for when she’s doing the work of trust:

  • Feeling of safety when requesting support at work [instead of burdening self with doing it all!]
  • Actively seeking out more opportunities → which means she’s not burnt out & boundaries are in place + working
  • Curiosity is being encouraged
  • Viewing mistakes as learnings, as opposed to failures

    • Actionable steps to building trust in the workplace:

    • 2 ears, 1 mouth → [listen to hear] then, ask questions
    • Be real about giving / receiving feedback
    • Acknowledgement
    • Empowerment fueled by trust
    • Encouragement of professional development
    • Emotional Intelligence
    • BE TRUST FIRST and model it. Then it will be mirrored back
