What is the most important question everyone is silently asking? According to David Horsager, the answer is clear: "Can I trust you?" In this episode, David shares why trust isn't merely a soft skill, but rather an asset that drives leadership, innovation, sales, retention, and more. He explains that a lack of trust represents the biggest cost to organizations and is the true cause behind many issues we typically attribute to communication, leadership, or marketing. Additionally, he introduces his research-backed framework of the 8 Pillars of Trust: clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency. David also offers some tools we can use today to turn trust into results.
