Learning to trust is one of the most important elements of life. Those who trust others live calmer, more emotionally stable lives. Every bit as important, those who live their lives in ways that are trustworthy will no doubt be living their best lives. Trust can be defined as complete confidence in a person, plan or situation. Trust is also the trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others. Essentially, when we trust someone, we have confidence or faith that they’ll behave a certain way.
Consider these strategies when you want to learn to trust:
Are you attempting to earn the trust of someone and not getting very far? The reason for this could be that you don’t even trust yourself. The way you portray yourself to others has a lot to do with trust, respect, and sincerity.
If you were to ask someone about trust they would tell you that it is a quality that needs to be earned. People don’t freely give out trust. Do you? So, if you want to earn trust from someone, you need to work on earning their respect first. It takes several things to earn a person’s trust.
It takes courage to be a leader, but even if you have fears that have kept you from leadership roles thus far, it doesn’t mean that you can’t overcome them and achieve positions of leadership.
Each decision you make in your personal and business life is a testament to your courage. Something as simple as refusing a rich dessert because you want to stay fit takes a certain amount of courage if you have gnawing cravings for sugar. Other decisions you must make may be monumental and require the courage of a lion. A decision to quit a high-paying job to follow your life’s dream is a major decision that takes courage – and planning. And, some decisions may seem unimportant in the moment, but later you may see that they were life-changing. So, how do you muster up the inner resources to step out there and go for it?
Unfortunately, stress has become the norm in many workplaces. Employees are expected to do more with less resources. Others do not have job security due to downsizing and layoffs, while others are caught between the demands of balancing work and family schedules.
For many, quitting their jobs or changing careers is just not a reasonable option. As a result, it is important to learn some simple tips that can help to reduce stress in the workplace. So what can you do to reduce the stress you face at work every day?
A huge factor in burnout is the stress related to feeling like you do not have enough time to get everything done in a day. It can feel like everyone wants you to attend to things immediately, even things that are not really that important! Our bodies are not machines, and it is important to remember that we cannot treat them as such. This is why learning how to set priorities is so important. Surprisingly, there are many people who do not know how to do this effectively. One of the first things I work with new clients on is learning how to set priorities in one's life.
"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." – Stephen Covey Stephen Covey has created a quadrant grid that is helpful in determining where you are currently spending your time, and where you should be spending your time. According to Covey, tasks can be separated into:
If you work with a team of people it is important that everyone trusts each other. Otherwise this makes working together extremely difficult. If members aren’t open to sharing their work, or sharing new information, the team will never see awesome results.
As trust between people builds, so do their results. A strong, trusting team can really achieve new heights and hold huge potential. It takes a leader to help build and develop trust in any team setting. Let’s look at how you can do this.
Whether you’re head of a large corporation or head of your family core, the best way to lead is by example. It builds trust and admiration and you can easily get much more accomplished in a shorter amount of time. It’s especially helpful for team leaders to lead by example so they can rally and inspire the group to victory.

No longer is a leader simply a person who can make a good photo op and inspiring speech. Today, a leader faces challenges with huge political, economic, and environmental consequences. A leader should have the ability to convince followers (and others) to change destructive habits, be good communicators, and focus more on the participation of women in leadership roles.
Leaders are prone to take risks and those risks may cause others to see them as "losers," especially if the leaders don’t have full knowledge of what the endeavor consists of before they become involved. Some mistakes come from thinking so radically that it’s impossible to know how taking a chance will turn out. If it turns out well, the leader is a hero. If not, serious consequences may be the result.
