Overview
When so much already exists about trust, why this book, and why now?Relationships are the foundations of our lives. The quality, strength and flexibility of those relationships relies on the degree and depth of trust between us.Change is frequent, fast and can be destabilising. Trust can help us to embrace change with curiosity, resilience and realistic optimism.Our approach to trust is usually ad hoc - we notice it by its absence. Yet we are more inclined to expect and seek trust from others, than to actively gift, or cultivate it, ourselves.This book is for people who want to create energised and resilient teams; find better ways of navigating change or uncertainty; and build genuinely 'human' workplaces.From understanding how psychological safety changes the way you work, to creating sustainable engagement in a team, to aligning personal aspirations with both team and organisational performance; trust enables each step. It navigates us beyond the hard work of 'letting go' and the discomfort of vulnerability, to finding peace with becoming more 'emergent' in a rapidly changing world.Teresa held leadership roles at Hasbro, The Walt Disney Company and Universal Pictures before moving into the world of Corporate & Executive Coaching and Consulting.
