I did my best to instill this mentality into the people at Knowles Warwick during the 30 or so years I ran the company.

If someone receives an invoice for an amount they’re not expecting, or for work they didn’t expect to have to be done, it invokes a natural response of betrayal and hurt. No amount of explanation or rationale can erase that feeling.

Trust is built habitually. What I mean by that is, you don’t earn trust overnight. Someone doesn’t become trustworthy or untrustworthy through one act. Trust is built through your values and morals aligning with action. Doing the right thing every day.

With coaching, trust is the bond that keeps the relationship going. A sports coach won’t last long if a player loses trust in what they say.

Much of people’s reticence and hesitance to use a business coach is the amount of people looking to make a quick buck out of it. You don’t need formal qualifications, so anyone can call themselves a business coach.
When people come to me for help, it’s because I’ve built a business on trust, and a reputation on the back of that business being successful.

At Peer2Peer meetings, trust forms the foundation of our discussions and collaborations. It’s the unspoken agreement that everyone around the table is there to support, challenge, and inspire each other in a safe and open environment. This mutual trust allows members to share openly, seek honest feedback, and grow both personally and professionally.
