What are we talking about?

ℹ️ - Here’s the hard pill:

Trust isn’t bought or begged for. It’s earned through the nitty-gritty of day-to-day honesty and showing up, even when it’s tough.

People remember actions, not empty words and broken promises.

💪 - By earning trust, you create a foundation of reliability and integrity.

This means people can depend on you, leading to better opportunities, stronger collaborations, and lasting friendships.

Trust turns simple teamwork into a well-oiled machine that drives success.

Not-so-random facts

3. Trust levels can be measured using the 'Trust Game' in behavioral economics.

4. Microexpressions can be indicators of trustworthiness, as they often reveal true emotions.

5. Eye contact can significantly enhance feelings of trustworthiness and connection.
