The Trust Factor in An Uncertain World
Season 3 · Episode 40
mercredi 13 septembre 2023 • Duration 41:18
Losing someone’s trust is easy—building it back is much harder. In Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, Darryl Stickel answers the key questions leaders face: what is trust, why is it essential to leadership, and how can I become more trusted? Trust is a basic, intuitive human reaction; it holds the fabric of our society together. Unfortunately, trust is at an all-time low in our institutions, governments, healthcare, and law enforcement. Fewer people attend a place of worship than at any time in the last eighty-plus years. Citizens fear their votes are not being counted and that politicians are lying to them—that the system itself has no legitimacy. People fail to take life-saving vaccines because they don’t trust what medical professionals and policymakers tell them. In law enforcement, a lack of trust motivates non-cooperation, fear, and a breakdown in law and order. We are facing an unprecedented trust-deficit crisis. In Building Trust: Exceptional Leadership in an Uncertain World, Darryl Stickel, one of the world’s foremost experts on trust, outlines his groundbreaking Trust Unlimited blueprint for building trust. Stickel moves away from the traditional approach of influencing people’s willingness to trust—the con artist’s tactic—to employing one or more of ten levers, which leaders can “pull” to close the gap between how much they are trusted and how much they should be. This approach also makes them more trustable and increases trust where it is deficient. Detailed case studies provide examples of his Trust Unlimited model in action. Have questions?

Finding Bliss Beyond the BUZZ
Season 3 · Episode 39
mercredi 6 septembre 2023 • Duration 27:41
The temporary happiness that alcohol, drugs and overeating provides can be deceiving. It may seem like the only way to escape your problems, but in reality, it only makes them worse. All of which can lead to addiction, health problems, and relationship problems. It can also damage your self-esteem and make you feel like you can't control your life.
But there is a better way to find happiness. You can find bliss beyond the buzz by living a sober life. When you're sober, you have the clarity to see your problems and the strength to overcome them. You can build healthy relationships, improve your health, and achieve your goals. You can also find joy and fulfillment in the simple things in life, like spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or pursuing your hobbies.
Finding bliss beyond the buzz is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, effort, and commitment. But it is a journey that is worth taking. If you are struggling with addiction, there is help available. You can find bliss beyond the buzz. Today's guest, Janet White will share her story of overcoming.
