Trust isn’t lost in one big moment. It’s shaped in the small ones you repeat every day.

In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita reimagine trust through a powerful lens: conditioning. From a funny Zoom moment that reveals how easily we operate on autopilot, to the reality that trust patterns begin forming in early childhood, this conversation breaks down why trust is far more than tenure, titles, or authority. You will hear practical insights for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and people first executives who are navigating return to office tension, generational shifts, broken reliability, and the hidden trust gaps underneath performance issues, change fatigue, and collaboration breakdowns. They also introduce actionable strategies you can apply immediately, including trust audits, trust as a two way agreement, micro moment deposits and withdrawals, surprise empowerment moments, and a fresh way to approach broken trust through renewal instead of “rebuilding.” If you support first line managers, this episode will help you strengthen trust without relying on mandates, assumptions, or outdated leadership habits.
