Do not underestimate the power of delivering results. When you get things done and make things happen you ultimately increase trust in your space. People will be able to rely on you to do what you’re hired to do and get things done on time and within budget.

One way to destroy trust is to over promise and under deliver. If you do find yourself in a situation where you have under delivered, it is vitally important to not make excuses for your under performance. Therefore, it is imperative to obtain a clear understanding of expectations up front….ASK. Don’t just assume that because you do a good job, that that is what was expected – you may miss the mark completely and still have done good, quality work.

Ask…..and then deliver! Every time.

What’s New For You Today?

Sometimes we get so caught up in wanting to know everything, that we get filled up to the brim with all of the things we know (or think we know.) When we do that, we eliminate the possibility of learning something new. Let’s think about this for a minute, if you know everything you already need and want to know, what would be the point of learning anything else?

Has your learning finished?

Has it stopped?

If not, hang out in the place of not knowing because if you don’t know something, you are actively searching for something new to be revealed to you. You can only let something in, when you are courageous enough to stand in the vulnerable place of not knowing. Not knowing means that you are uncertain about what will show up and that proposition can be frightening, but if you are willing to learn, you are willing to stand in, “I don’t know.”

I find that place to be scary and yet somehow intriguing and exciting!

Try it out today ~ all day! Look for, listen for, and experience something new today.

I have only a few books that I keep on my nightstand for reference and this book quickly became one of them! When Hay House sent this book to me for free, I wondered what insights might be available to me. Once I started reading, it felt like the Law of Attraction made this book available to me as the right book at the right time. When I finished reading The Angel Therapy Handbook, I couldn’t wait to start it again!

This handbook gave me a great introduction to angels and Archangels, the novice that I am. It’s written in easy to understand language and yet packs a powerful punch. Doreen Virtue filled this book with numerous tips, steps, and how-to’s. What I also found helpful was how she explained the different types of what she calls “Clairs”; clairvoyance, clairsentience, claircognizance, and clairaudience. This helped me to trust what I sometimes deem as coincidences and piece them together to understand and trust my intuition. There are so many examples in this book, it makes it easy to take out of theory and relate it to practical applications.

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand more about angles and to anyone who just wants to understand reoccurring thoughts and patterns in their life.

According to Stephen M R Covey there are 13 key behaviors that are common in high-trust leaders. They are:

1. Straight Talk
2. Demonstrate Respect
3. Create Transparency
4. Right Wrongs
5. Show Loyalty
6. Deliver Results
7. Get Better
8. Confront Reality
9. Clarify Expectations
10. Practice Accountability
11. Listen First
12. Keep Commitments
13. Extend Trust

The key in maintaining and building trust is consistency in these behaviors, which can be applied in the work setting as well as your personal relationships!

According to Stephen M. R. Covey, the quickest way to make a withdrawal is to violate a behavior of character and the quickest way to make a deposit is to demonstrate a behavior of competence.

If you find yourself in a situation where you believe that you have destroyed the trust in that relationship and you want to repair that relationship either improve your capabilities or produce results.

Some examples of how to rebuild trust are:

• If someone doesn’t trust that you’ll keep your word and show up, show up EVERY time (and early – perhaps even….pick them up and go together!)
• Identify ways that you could increase your knowledge, especially in an area where you had a breakdown or made a mistake.
• When you work on a task, work on it to completion and get it done right – deliver outstanding results.

Trust is about more than just your integrity. According to Steven M R Covey, in his book, Speed of Trust, self-trust includes four areas: Integrity, Intent, Capability, and Results. These are what he refers to as the “4 Cores of Credibility.” Through integrating all four cores we increase our congruency, resulting in a higher level of trust with ourselves and with others.

Integrity includes honesty and wholeness. Are you congruent? Do your words match your actions and your thoughts? Are you in alignment with who you are?

Intent has to do with the behavior that results from our motives and agendas. Trust grows when our intention for mutual benefit and not for personal or individual gain. The first two cores, Integrity and Intent are matters of one’s character.

Capability measures our ability to produce results. Are you relevant? Are you current?

Results include our performance. What have we produced? What have we accomplished? Do you deliver? The second two cores, Capabilities and Results are matters of competence.

I’m not even sure what that word means!  It seems to me that either you’re going to do it or you’re not.  Using the word try comes across to me as an excuse and an unwillingness not to commit either way.

I see it as a fundamental lack of commitment which also points to a lack of trust.  It’s as if you don’t trust your own ability to get it done or come through, so you’re unwilling to commit.  It’s like giving yourself wiggle room.

Sure, you can spend your life justifying how busy you are and how many very important things you must do, but when it comes down to it, you are already making a choice of doing or not doing in every moment.

I feel like screaming,  “Quit pretending that you might do something and stop using the word try!”

Not because it’s offensive, dismissive, and patronizing to the person you gave your non-committal use of the word “try” to ~ but rather because every time you do, you undermine your own ability to trust yourself.

When you trust and honor who you are as a person, you begin to stand with confidence in being able to declare what you want moment by moment and you make no apologies for your choices.

Stand with confidence by integrating the following practices:

• Honor yourself (and others) by honoring your choices; the things that you committed to do!
• Honor yourself (and others) by declaring what you will and will not do!
• Honor yourself (and others) by trusting that what you want is important, valuable, and worthwhile!
• Honor yourself (and others) by removing the word “try” from your vocabulary!
