Becoming Trusted: Building Trust In Our Increasingly Skeptical World

Trust is the foundation of human relationships and the key to success in today’s business environment. Yet, as a society, we are in a crisis of trust on a global scale. To become trusted today, you now must first prove that you are worthy of trust. But how?

Drawing on more than sixty years of research in cognitive science and consumer behavior, this engaging and insightful presentation uncovers the hidden truths behind the often-misunderstood concept of trust. It explains exactly how people form trusting relationships and why the conventional approach to building trust actually makes it harder to become trusted in our modern world. You’ll discover practical tips and strategies to quickly become trusted with others so you can perform and lead at your best.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how trust has changed in our society and how this change affects the way trust now works
•  Learn exactly what trust is (and what it’s not) and why we often unintentionally make it harder for others to trust us
• Discover the process people use to assess another’s trustworthiness and how you can make it easier (and quicker!) for others to give you credit for being trustworthy

Kevin Sanders has spent more than 25 years in marketing, including senior-level roles and consulting in financial services, hospitality, higher education, high tech, healthcare, and foodservice. He is currently the CMO for a technology startup. Kevin believes trust is the foundation of all great companies, organizations and institutions. However, he also believes that trust is at an all-time low in our culture, society and in our world. In this new world where skepticism is now the default, businesses need to prove trustworthiness if they want to attract clients and thrive in our current society.
