Darryl Stickel: Unconditional Encouragement: The Drake Effect on Trust

Darryl Stickel is the founder of Trust Unlimited and one of the world's leading experts on the topic of trust.  He wrote his doctoral thesis on Building Trust In Hostile Environments at Duke and worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company prior to founding TU.  Darryl has a rare blend of deep theoretical knowledge and practical applied experience.  He has devoted his career to helping individuals and organizations better understand how actually to build trust and stronger relationships. In this episode, Justin and Darryl Stickel discuss: * Building trust through benevolence, integrity, and ability * Importance of shared understanding and values * Balancing formal and informal mechanisms of social control * Overcoming trust barriers through sensitivity and emotional intelligence * Showing unconditional love and encouragement like Drake the guide dog Key Takeaways: * Darryl emphasized the importance of intentionally building trust through specific actions like showing benevolence, integrity, and ability, and this requires understanding what excellence and success look like for the other person and aligning your behavior accordingly. * Trust is a delicate balance between uncertainty and vulnerability; and by reducing uncertainty through clear communication of rules and expectations, and managing vulnerability through empathy and emotional intelligence, individuals and organizations can foster stronger, more trusting relationships. * In a diverse society, expressing personal beliefs can be challenging; there is a need for curiosity, sensitivity, and a willingness to understand others' perspectives. * Being attuned to one's own and others' emotional states, and managing them effectively, is key to establishing meaningful, trustworthy connections. * Drawing inspiration from Darryl's guide dog, Drake, the power of unconditional love, friendliness, and encouragement in fostering trust was emphasized.  "If we can't find a positive story about somebody else, that says a lot more about us than it does about them.” — Darryl Stickel Connect with Darryl Stickel:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darryl-stickel-phd/?originalSubdomain=ca  Podcast: The Imperfect Cafe (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-imperfect-cafe/id1734300075) Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@DarrylStickel_BuildingTrust  Connect with Justin Fatica: Email: [email protected]  Twitter: https://twitter.com/JustinFatica  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JustinFatica  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinfatica/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JustinFatica  Justin’s Books: Hard As Nails: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Nails-Mission-Awaken-Youth/dp/0385527179/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1696950768&sr=8-5  You're Amazing: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/youre-amazing-a-message-of-hope-that-will-change-your-life-forever  Win It All: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/win-it-all-the-way-to-heaven-for-catholic-teens  40-Day Prayer Workout: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/prayer-workout-devotional-book-40-days-of-biblical-reflections  Children's Book: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/youre-amazing-childrens-book  Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
