Trust is the most underestimated factor that can create or destroy everything within a few seconds.Trust affects everything in our lives 365 days a year, from our work to our personal relationships.Various kinds of relationships are built and sustained by trust but they can also be damaged by lack of trust.If trust is removed, deepest relationships and connections will fall apart. The impact doesn’t just stay in our present moments, it also creeps into our future moments.

Trust Is Important

Trust happens in five waves:<ul><li>Wave 1: Self Trust</li><li>Wave 2: Relationship Trust</li><li>Wave 3: Organizational Trust</li><li>Wave 4: Market Trust</li><li>Wave 5: Societal Trust</li></ul>

Waves Of Trust

The first wave of trust depends on our self–confidence. Can people trust you? How credible are you?To build our credibility, we need to understand four cores related to character and competence:<ol><li>Intent</li><li>Capabilities</li><li>Integrity</li><li>Results</li></ol>Research has shown that most people do not keep the commitments and promises they make to themselves.A 2005 Harris poll found that only 8% of Americans stick to their New Year resolutions even though 50% make those resolutions. After repeated failure to create and keep promises to ourselves, it starts to degrade our self–confidence.

Wave 1: Self Trust

To use the metaphor of tree to better understand the four cores of credibility:<ol><li>Integrity is the root below the surface that allows everything to grow.</li><li>Intent is the trunk that grows out in the open.</li><li>Capabilities are the branches that allow us to produce.</li><li>Results are the fruits, which are measurable, tangible and visible outcomes that people can see and evaluate.</li></ol>

Four Cores Of Credibility

When we can’t fully trust ourselves, we find it hard to trust others.

It's about learning ways to increase trust and how to avoid destroying it.Behavior 1: Talk straightWarren Buffet writes a management letter for his company’s annual report with no fluff. He doesn’t mind adding the mistakes he made during the year.Behavior 2: Show respectTreat everyone with respect.Behavior 3: Be transparentIn the present global economy, transparency is becoming popular as the critical value in organizations.Behavior 4: Right wrongsWhen you're wrong, don't hesitate to make things right ASAP.Behavior 5: Show loyaltyWhen you are loyal, people will see you as trustworthy.

Wave 2: Relationship Trust

Once you start to extend trust to people, you are empowering them to trust you too. Then, you will be able to create a high–trust culture that makes everyone do their best all the time.

Create High-Trust Culture

In the corporate world, the biggest “aha” moments often happen when people realize that there is low trust in their organization because the principles were violated by both individuals and the organization.<ul><li>You can be an amazing leader that people trust because you have great relationship trust and self–trust levels.</li><li>You might fail at organizational trust because you aren’t making and aligning structures and systems that will build trust.</li></ul>

Wave 3: Organizational Trust

When you see some companies, how do you feel about them? Perhaps, you have heard great things about their products, services, or leadership. So, you are likely to buy from them or recommend them to your family and friends.Market trust is all about reputation or brand.It’s about how you feel about buying from a business or spending your time there. It also affects how you will recommend them to others.

Wave 4: Market Trust

In late April 1992, the trial of Rodney King led to riots and city blocks were set on fire and looted in LA. Businesses lost billions. However, not a single McDonald’s restaurant in the area was touched.The local residents knew McDonald’s cared about the community and they didn’t want to destroy something that took care of them. The sense of social responsibility by McDonald’s created societal trust that had clear measurable and observable results.Contribution is the main principle of societal trust.

Wave 5: Societal Trust

Trust affects everything we do in life.It impacts our work, relationships, communication, etc.<ul><li>When you trust someone, you have confidence in them, in their integrity, and in their abilities.</li><li>When you distrust people, you find everything they do suspicious.</li></ul>One reason why trust is so beneficial to us is that it facilitates good communication.Relationships are built and sustained by trust, and they can also be broken by lack of trust just by a single violation.

Trust Improves The Quality Of Life

Trust is a simple word, but has a deep meaning. It can create or destroy everything within a few seconds. Learn how to gain trust and why it is important.

Over two million copies sold. Stephen M. R. Covey shows how trust—and the speed at which it is established with clients, employees, and all stakeholders—is the single most critical component of a successful leader and organization. Stephen M. R. Covey, widely known as one of the world’s leading authorities on trust, asserts that it is “the most overlooked, misunderstood, underutilized asset to enable performance. Its impact, for good or bad, is dramatic and pervasive. It’s something you can’t escape.” Thankfully, it’s is also the thing that can dramatically improve your personal and professional success. Why trust? The simple, often overlooked fact is this: work gets done with and through people. The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in every transaction and every relationship—from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction. It specifically demonstrates how to establish trust intentionally so that you and your organization can forego the time-killing, bureaucratic check-and-balance processes that is so often deployed in lieu of actual trust. This 2018 updated edition includes an insightful afterword by the author which explores ten key reasons why trust is more relevant now than ever before—including how trust is the new currency of our world today.

Today I will go over ten rules that high-value men never break. Gainful employment. A high-value man has a job and does not rely on others. They do not accept handouts or have a lot of high-interest debt. Debt is the devil, robbing you of joy and financial stability. Self-control.

They understand that time is their most valuable resource and don't waste it on surfing TikTok or IG because they're too busy being proactive and kicking ass. Self-care. High-value men pay attention to their bodies. What matter most is health, not making money and acquiring stuff. High-value men exercise, eat right, and ensure they're healthy mentally. They don't make excuses or neglect their health. Motivated. High-value guys have a high degree of motivation. They know that they have to strive to achieve greatness and that they have to better themselves with constant improvement daily. Uplifting.

Just because somebody has a pretty face, a nice body, tons of followers, or is famous doesn't mean she's a good person. High-value men understand this. Certain women are more confident, have a better mindset, and are not into all of the fake crap. High-value women do not take their clothes off for money. Effective communicators. High-value men are proficient communicators who don't use filler words. They can make connections, including when walking into a room of strangers. They make people feel important, listen & carry on conversations, and make small talk with every type of person. Assertive. High-value men are not people pleasers. They do not say 'yes' when they should be saying 'no.' They protect themselves, stand up for themselves, and do not allow people to exploit them. High-value men are also protectors, never allowing other people in their life to be taken advantage of. They are supportive and protective of their parents, loved ones, friends, and strangers.

The "HIGH VALUE" Code (10 Rules Men Should NEVER Break)

What are some unwritten social rules everyone should know?

If a kid shows you their drawing/painting, don’t ask them what it is or try to guess; just ask them to explain it to you

Explain it to you

If you are eating with a friend then offer them your food since sharing is caring

Sharing is caring

If someone tells you a joke and you don’t think it’s funny, you should still laugh

you should still laugh

When arguing with someone do not scream since it does not prove you right

Do not scream 

Always call before you go to someone else’s house to avoid being an “unwanted guest”

Always Call Before 

Dr. Sal Severe established himself as a leading childcare and parenting expert with his phenomenally successful How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! Now he focuses on raising children between the ages of three and six. Based on Dr. Severe’s philosophy that children’s behavior often reflects that of their parents, this book teaches readers how to better handle a host of issues, from fussing at bedtime and temper tantrums to toilet training and sibling rivalry. Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, Severe teaches parents what they can do right by emphasizing the positive, being consistent, and being more patient. Filled with checklists, an extensive resource guide to books that parents can read with their preschoolers, and plenty of inspiration, this goldmine of helpful advice is certain to become a bible for stressed-out parents everywhere.

How to Behave So Your Preschooler Will, Too!

We often find ourselves with nothing to say during conversations, which often leads nowhere and results in a lack of connection. However, by improving our conversational abilities, it’s possible to combat that.As such, here are the three stages of having a good conversation:<ol><li>The Approach.</li><li>The Small Talk.</li><li>The Deeper Conversation.</li></ol>

The Three Stages

Many people struggle to get past this stage due to a fear of rejection; however, through introspection and confronting and coming to terms with the socializing problems in your past, you can overcome that.Journaling is especially useful, and it can be helpful to ask yourself, “why do I feel like this person will not like me or care about what I have to say?” and “does my social anxiety come from a bad childhood experience or recently?”.Once you let the past go, you can start approaching people again and relinquish your past self’s control over you.

The Approach

Once you approach someone, you’re going to have to accept the fact that there’s probably going to be some awkward small talk at first.Transitioning from small talk to a deeper conversation is a skill that takes practice, but an easy way to start is by embracing the awkwardness and by not taking the conversation too seriously, as that will help make a conversation less awkward.Regardless, you’re going to have to say something though, so to start a conversation, consider talking about something that’s going on and expanding from there by adding input and asking questions (preferably open-ended)

The Small Talk

Don’t be interesting, be interested.You don’t have to say a lot to have a good conversation, as actively listening to the people you’re talking with and building off of it is a great way to make them open up and to establish a good connection.

You Don’t Have To Say Much

If you become someone who is easy for others to talk to through what you say and how you act, others will mimic that behavior and do the same for you. It’s also important to maintain eye contact, have an open posture, smile and nod to show you’re listening, etc., as being physically open will make others more comfortable around you.Initiating vulnerability during the conversation through your words and not being afraid to talk about deeper subjects, as well as following up with open-ended questions, is another great way to make people open up to you.

The Deeper Conversation 

It’s important to remember that the entire conversation doesn’t have to be deep and meaningful and that humor can also help forge strong connections.Another thing is that most conversations in life are going to be messy, and that’s okay, because the rare opportunities where that isn’t the case become so much more valuable as a result.

A Few Final Thoughts

Here’s a summary of Cole Hastings’s video on how to overcome social awkwardness.

"A single gesture can be more eloquent than a thousand speeches." (Unknown) ["Body Language"] [Horace Webb]

The Hidden Language of the Body - Insights from "Body Language"

Challenging all of our old assumptions about the subject, Rethinking Body Language builds on the most recent cutting-edge research to offer a new theoretical perspective on this subject that will transform the way we look at other people. In contrast to the traditional view that body language is primarily concerned with the expression of emotions and the negotiation of social relationships, author Geoff Beattie argues instead that gestures reflect aspects of our thinking but in a different way to verbal language. Critically, the spontaneous hand movements that people make when they talk often communicate a good deal more than they intend. This ground-breaking book takes body language analysis to a whole new level. Engagingly written by one of the leading experts in the field, it shows how we can detect deception in gesture–speech mismatches and how these unconscious movements can give us real insight into people's underlying implicit attitudes.

Understand yourself and those around you.
