Hi there. My name is Jeff Arthur with the values conversation here to talk about and ask you as a leader about whether your people trust you or not. I worked with a friend of mine years ago by the name of Kelly Horn who was a certified parent coach and he’d said something to me that was profound that I will probably repeat at some future date whenever we talk about personal growth on Wednesday’s, but he talked about how as a parent coach he tries to help the parents understand they the parents talking about how they can’t trust their kid and they can’t trust their child and they can’t trust the decisions the child makes and on, on on. And what he would do is try to help the parent understand that a lot of times the breakdown in communication between parent and child isn’t about whether the parent can trust the child or not, but it’s about the, whether the child is figuring out whether they can trust the parent or not.
I’ll repeat that. It’s not about whether the parent can trust the child. It’s about whether the child can figure out whether they can trust the parent. Does the Child Trust Your judgment? There is a child trust the way you react to problems without re, without going overboard, without overreacting. Does the child believe you? Whenever you say we’re going to do x or y or Z, there’s a child believing whenever they say that punishment is this, can that trial trust your judgment and that is exactly right in your company. Do your people trust you and your statements and your judgments and your reactions to the daily life and the daily grind in your company?
