Thanks Ian for another eloquent article on a complex topic.

I’ve often thought of adding to Druckers famous quote;

No Trust. No Culture.

Know Trust. Know Culture.

For me it’s simply the platform on which all human connections are built. Must have. 🙏

Such a vital and immediate message, confirming my experience. When I first started in sales and wasn't having any success, I paused all activity and thought deeply about why prospects would buy from me. "Trust," I thought. "Prospects will never buy from me unless they trust me." You show us how to build trust: credibility, reliability, integrity.

I especially appreciated this line: "Perfection is not required in any of these qualities; intention and a willingness to learn are." True words.

Thank you Ryan. I think that bringing trust as a central cultural element in our work can make a substantial difference in our living experience. For now there is a great deal of chaos surrounding us, but work is a constant for so many of us. We have some room there to make a difference. Thank you for all your good good work Ryan.

No just do what you need and what works Terry. I trust your judgement. (note: I will be offline for a few days now...my daughter is getting married on Saturday and I will be full on dad-help-daughter-prepare-mode 🙂)

I love the idea that building trust within our work is a spiritual way. I resonate with your opening that "the current of mind induced will continue to flow." Flow is something that I keep learning more and more. Blessings to you as you prepare to celebrate with your daughter this week! I hope it's a blast for you all.
