What does it feel like not to be trusted? To be cynically judged, scrutinized, and misunderstood? Is low trust measurable in your relationships, both personally and professionally? Are you being measured? What is it costing you? In our lives today, trust is 'the one thing that changes everything."
Trust Issues Affect Everyone
How many of these quotes from Stephen M.R. Covey's research on trust sound familiar to you...
"I can't stand the politics at work. I feel sabotaged by my peers. It seems like everyone is out for himself and will do anything to get ahead."
"I've really been burned in the past. How can I ever trust anyone enough to have a real relationship?"
"The older my children get, the less they listen to me. What can I do?"
"I feel like my contributions at work are hardly ever recognized or valued."
"I foolishly violated the trust of someone who was supremely important to me. If I could hit "rewind" and make the decision differently, I would do it in a heartbeat. But I can't. Will I ever be able to rebuild the relationship?"
