Without trust, people protect themselves instead of collaborating openly. The speaker argues genuine trust is what lets teams work dynamically and people feel safe enough to be authentic. Identify where trust is missing in your relationships and why.
Good morning, everyone. Here's your moment of yes for today. The last few weeks I've been working a lot with different teams on what it takes to kind of create really dynamic, really successful teams. And the one quality that is sort of rising to the top over and over again more than any other is the idea of trust. And this is a quality that I'm a big fan of. And so when you think of You think of any team, whether it's work, think of a family, think of any relationship that you are in or that you have. If it's not sort of operating at a top level, at a really healthy, really inspiring level, there's a good chance that that relationship is lacking a sense of true trust. Meaning, if I cannot trust you or trust the environment, I am not going to be able to be fully authentic. I can't bring my full self to the table if I'm not positive that that's a safe thing for me to do. And safety from the standpoint, not necessarily physically, but emotionally safe to bring, be authentic, and know that how I show up is going to be supported and backed. And so, you know, great teams will operate really about as far as that sense of trust can be because Once you get to that point, then you start kind of protecting your own turf. You're in survival mode. You're not so much about being fully authentic as much as protecting, being protective of yourself. So think about today, some teams that you're on, especially some relationships that you're in. Are they at the level, whether it's friendship or whatnot, that you would like it to be? And if not, what's preventing it? Is it possible that there is a lack of trust in that relationship? And then ask why. Why is there a lack of trust? That might send you to a level that might be really healthy into exploring that relationship. So trust is a must. That's your level of yes. That's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a wonderful day. Bye.
