Trust is the invisible ingredient that creates stronger relationships. At work, it’s the foundation of effective teamwork. Without trust, people are less collaborative, less open, less prepared to commit to the team and others. Think about someone you don’t trust and consider how you might behave. You may be more guarded, less generous, less likely to respond positively and be receptive to requests for help.

In my work, I often am asked to facilitate conversations between people who disagree or are finding it hard to get on. This can have a negative impact on the wider team and organisation and reacting quickly, getting the people together helps reduce this.
These days, it has become more difficult than ever to disagree with someone. Many fear causing offence and worry about cancel culture. I read a lot about this subject and here are some of my thoughts on disagreement.

Your internal comms (inner narrative) impacts your external comms – so taking time to consider and develop new communication styles can be transformative.
Finding out who you are and why this is important for you. (listen to my podcast if you prefer to listen)
Have you ever wondered who you are deep down and what you stand for? If not, you’re not alone. Taking time to dig a little deep and work through some questions to find out who you are, what makes you tick, what your purpose is, what brings joy (and sadness) can bring so many benefits.
The ability to question yourself, spend time to follow thoughts, identify what is important, can bring self belief, confidence along with making decision making and interacting with others a lot easier. It is a conversation that comes up regularly in coaching, and if you read on, you’ll find some questions to help you start the process.

It feels like they derive joy from seeing you get wound up. That smirk on their face! They know exactly what they’re doing.
