My high school friends still like to tease me that I was one of the hardest “workers” in the class. So yesterday, when we reached our 75,000 milestone, I took a deep breath and begin thinking about the next milestone and how we might get there.<\/p>\n

Getting this far….<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Trust Alliance, comprised of some of the world’s leading trust scholars and practitioners) spent over a year (2017-18) studying (and debating) the question of how trust is built and busted in teams and organizations, until we were able to agree on a set of universal trust elevating principles which we call TAP (Trust Alliance Principles.)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
TAP is available<\/a> at no cost in 16 languages and yesterday we crossed a threshold of\u00a075,000 global views<\/strong>. As someone said in a recent conference call, TAP is quickly becoming the universal gold standard for elevating trust in teams and organizations. How cool is that?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Translating trust “talk” into “action”<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Using the TAP principles as a framework, a suite of proprietary survey tools called AIM Towards Trust<\/a> have been created, and the surveys have been run successfully with great results in over a dozen teams and organizations in the past few months. Later this week we will be introducing this powerful tool to 700 attendees at a national conference.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am thrilled with the progress we are making moving the needle beyond trust talk to trust action. In fact, there is no longer any justifiable excuse for ANY leader, team or organization to talk about trust, but not act on it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As for the future, we will continue to chip away, and I will keep working hard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for helping us reach this important milestone.<\/div>\n
