Following the last few blogs on Creating Cultures of Trust, I think about an overlooked aspect of the trust dynamic—our openness to courageously offer honest feedback and receive feedback as a gift that helps us to be the best versions of ourselves. With the strengths package that I was given I feel compelled, at times, […]

Happiness Comes From The Inside Out

January 13, 2015 by Diana Leave a Comment

If you’re unhappy today, you’ll be unhappy tomorrow — unless you are intentional and take action. Research shows that up to half of our happiness is genetic. We have a certain predisposition towards a level of happiness and satisfaction. But while genetics may dictate some of our happiness quotient, each of us is responsible for […]

Happiness Is A Choice

January 5, 2015 by Diana Leave a Comment

As we enter into a New Year I invite you to ponder: It is possible to take specific action steps to become happier? We find ourselves pouring effort into improving our circumstances, only to find that we’re not that much happier after all? The King of Bhutan, the last Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, has […]

December 15, 2014 by Diana Leave a Comment

What if you could measure trust? If you could put a number on the degree of trust in a relationship, perhaps you could then see the areas you could adjust and improve. Consultants Maister, Green and Galford in The Trusted Advisor use the four components of trust to provide a concrete measurement tool they call […]

The 4 Components of Trust

December 8, 2014 by Diana Leave a Comment

These past few blog posts have been dissecting the elements of trust. If you were to boil down trust to its four basic and most essential components, what would they be? “It’s not enough to keep your word; others have to be aware that you are doing it. And here is where it gets sticky. […]

The 5 Trust Building Skills

December 1, 2014 by Diana Leave a Comment

I’ve been exploring what builds high leadership trust and Maister, Green and Galford write about the elements that build trust in their book The Trusted Advisors (Free Press, 2001). Trustworthy leaders practice and master five key abilities: 1. Listen Well Most leaders use their listening skills to gather information. But, listening is a critical tool for connecting with […]

How to Build Leadership Trust?

November 24, 2014 by Diana Leave a Comment

In the work I do coaching leaders, everyone hopes to have high leadership trust with stakeholders. Surveys, however, show otherwise. The truth is most leaders could do more to engender an environment of high trust. In my experience, part of the problem is that “trust” is a bit ill-defined and subjective, like “world peace.” Everyone […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
