Consult & Advise

To use your expertise in the best way, it’s important to establish trust rather than just tell people everything you know. Building trust is as much about asking questions, facilitating the discussion and sharing thoughts and feelings as it is about being the one with all the answers.

You will:

Be clear on the three principles of building trust
Understand how ego gets in the way of trust and be able to manage your own self orientation when it arises
Be able to build trust quickly, using a five-step process
Buy into the power of partnership and know how to create it with the people who ask you for your advice or expertise
