The success or failure of every relationship or interaction depends on your ability to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust.

What is Trust?

Trust is the level to which you are willing to accept the potential negative consequences of giving control over something you have to another person, expecting them to minimize those negative consequences.

​

Trust is created through the 8 laws of trust, the 6 components of the relative trust model, and the 7-step Trust Habits® process.

The 8 Laws of Trust

Continuous

It's not a question of whether you trust or not. The question is how much do you trust.

Contextual

It's also a question of what do you trust someone with.

Personal

Trust occurs only between two people, and is relative to one another. The trust in a larger group is a function of it.

Asymmetrical

Trust is a two-way street, but not a symmetrical one. You may trust another person more or less than they trust you.

Transferable

If I trust you, and you trust her, I will trust her (less than I trust you, but more than none at all).

Reciprocal

A circle of arrows, indicating that trust is reciprocal

If you show me that you truly trust me, I will behave in a trustworthy way to earn your trust.

Dynamic

a line that goes up and down, indicating that the level of trust changes over time

Trust changes over time. Slower between interactions, and faster (for better or worse) during interactions. 

Two-sided

Two people sitting by a desk facing each other, indicating that trust takes two people

My trust in you is the product of my willingness to trust people in general, and your trustworthiness.

The 6 Components of Trustworthiness

The Relative Trustworthiness Mode is made of two groups of components: The "who you are" (in Red) and the "what you do" (Blue) during an interaction. The "who you are" components are like a balance sheet. They include what I know about you before we interact. They include a technical/professional component (competence), an emotional component (personality compatibility), and a situational component (fairness/symmetry).

The "what you do" components occur during every interaction. They include Positivity (made of the sub-components No-BS and Empathy), and accelerated by time, and the intimacy of that interaction.

The 7-Step Trust Habits® Process

Process 1.png

The uniqueness of the Trust Habits™ approach is that it resides in the intersection of the science of trust and the science of habit-forming. Most approaches to building trust leave you with a list of things you must do to be trusted. The problem is that you will not be trusted until you create new habits that will change old behaviors that are holding you back from being more trusted than you currently are. 

This is where the 7-steps of the Trust Habits™ process come into play. They start with identifying one relationship in which you want to be more trusted (odds are that whatever is holding you back from being more trusted in that relationship could be holding you back from being more trusted in other relationships as well). They continue with identifying one negative behavior (eliminating one negative behavior will have a greater impact on your trustworthiness than adding one positive behavior, while keeping a negative behavior). Then, the process focuses on how to form a new habit that will eliminate that behavior.
