At this point in my career, my role as a CEO revolves almost entirely around relationship building and partnership creation. Our most important partnerships have been built on these foundational components: 1) Clear expectations 2) Doing what we say and communicating when we cannot or if we fall short 3) Scheduled communications around data observations, anecdotal observations, and areas of concern 4) Willingness to reevaluate the relationship at the partner’s request 5) Using successful results from existing partnerships as proof of concept for future relationship building opportunities DM me or email me for more specifics. Good luck!

One crucial aspect is to *not* adopt a 'one size fits all' approach, understanding that I am trying to help people from a very diverse range of backgrounds and needs. Adaptability and flexibility when engaging & communicating with different audiences is therefore key. If I can build rapport and trust with a particular 'client', as well as expressing non-judgmental empathy to what they have gone through, they are far more likely to be open with me and provide me with information that may well be vital to keeping them safe. If I can succeed in doing this, I then have a full picture of the current situation that I can provide to other involved stakeholders, sharing information that they were hitherto unaware of and vice versa.

You build trust within your community by opening up communication. The individual taking initiative in conversation/communication must remain non-judgmental, yet direct with the individual. When you have the best intentions with someone, intentions that do not inhibit the individuals self-esteem, and does not conflict with the individual’s autonomy, trust begins to grow. Trust is broken when you break someone down to inhibit their success as an individual. Trust is built through positive challenges.

Building trust within a community is an art, not a science. It begins with showcasing value and credibility through evidence-based actions that enhance your reputation. Earning trust is just the start; maintaining it requires consistent delivery—and often over-delivery—to uphold your credibility.

Trust is built over time, but it flourishes when nurtured with care and authenticity.

Building trust in the community (especially if your supplier is local) is as simple as charity events- taylored to your business demographic ( If your in medical manufacturing, then work with local medical clinics and hospitals, raise money for a new expansion project).
