Trust, if developed and leveraged, is the one thing that has potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity. Remember the Warren Buffet illustration? Trust impacts us 24/7, 365. It undergirds and affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, and every work project.
Stephen M.R. Covey says, "It's the one thing that changes everything!"
From the economics of trust, to the four cores of credibility (integrity, intent, capabilities, results), to the 13 behaviors (talk straight, demonstrate respect, create transparency, right wrongs, show loyalty, deliver results, get better, confront reality, clarify expectations, practice accountability, listen first, keep commitments, extend trust), we're asking that you tell us two things:
1. What is your favorite take-away from the book The Speed of Trust, or from the keynote by Stephen M.R. Covey?
2. Why is it so meaningful to you?

Stephen M.R. Covey's appearance in Traverse City was tremendously rewarding and worthwhile. It was one thing to read the book but seeing and hearing Covey's presentation in person made the concepts of "The Speed of Trust" more applicable to what each of us encounters in working (and other) relationships on a daily basis.
