Trust is built by Transparency, Empathy, and Consistency.
Transparency – When communication decreases, uncertainty increases. Better to disappoint with a hard truth than to deceive with a lie.
Empathy – Talk less, listen more. Your team will never care about your mission if you don’t care about your team.
Consistency – It’s not what you do occasionally that matters, but what you do consistently.
To earn trust, you have to give trust.
The best way to figure out if you can trust someone is to trust them.
You may be disappointed if you trust too much, but you will always be limited if you don’t trust enough.

Societal trust is as low as it has ever been. People default to distrust. Thus, we must be more intentional about building it. Go first in trust. Be transparent about your weaknesses. And remember that the three most important ingredients for success are consistency, consistency, and consistency.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Biohack is the new AOQ!!! BFF at Quanken Saturday, Dad Camp the next week, Forg3 in September.
COT:
The Q source provides us with Leadership Competencies (Vision, Articulation, Persuasion, and Exhortation) and Virtues (Candor, Commitment, Consistency, Contentment, and Courage), but ahead of these things, there is a fundamental reality – Trust. Without Trust, there can be no Team, and without a Team there is no Leader. While Trust-worthiness might be guessed at by evaluating the other leadership traits, there is only one way to truly get Trust – the Stress Test. Trust only truly develops when a man stands with you under stress and does not give way. Though I could speak on Biohack’s leadership traits, what gives me greatest confidence in his success is the Trust that I have in him, having stood with me in many gaps and proven himself reliable. So it is with no hesitation that I step aside to give him the lead of this fine and flourishing AO.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F3 in the Nude. Shovelflag handoff. Ruck BFF. Dad’s Camp.

COT: Specific to relationships…Whatever it is that you feel inadequate in, be curious, be teachable, seek counsel and pro tips. Ask for guidance in the areas of your heart that you feel inadequate. You can learn pro tips to share emotions, deal with conflict in a healthy way, pray in a group – or whatever else you feel inadequate about doing when it comes to relationships.

Proverbs 14:15, “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps”.

Proverbs 12:15, The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel”

Proverbs 19:20, “Listen to counsel and accept discipline,
That you may be wise the rest of your days.”

James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
