Key Trust Builders

 July 6, 2004

• "Trusting and open.  Candid.  Share their true feelings, not spin.
• Honest.  Exhibit integrity and authenticity.  Act the same no matter who is around.  Walk the talk.
• Transparent.  No private agenda, no surprises.  What you see is what you get.
• Genuinely care.  Concerned about the needs of others as evidenced by actions, not just words.
• Listen.  Listen carefully, nonjudgmentally, with empathy.
• Seek and value other opinions (before making decisions).
• Support.  Reach out to help others.
• Build relationships.  Socialize, engage in fun activities (Ellis, 2003, p. 183)."
