Every week I do a video blog (or VLOG).
This week I talked about trust.
When I started this, I was very scared of putting myself on video, so I got the courage and put myself in the arena, killing a lot of bad self talk.This gives me the chance to work on my communication skills, start a new medium, and experiment!
Once a week, after I have thought about them, I will give them a day here on the blog.
These aren’t just promotion posts (although they are, please watch and share 
) I want to take the time to break them down and try to clarify what I want to communicate and the tactical things I learned through doing.
If you enjoyed the video, and if you want to get on the ride, please,subscribe to my YouTube channel, and join my Facebook page where I post them every Sunday night.
What I Wanted To Communicate About Trust
Trust is a fragile cycle, but worth all the padding in the world because it colors all of our decisions. It’s quite simple – if we are in a place where we can’t trust or aren’t trusted, we can’t work our absolute best.
- Trust allows for dialogue – If we go into a situation where there is trust, we get a chance to talk and be honest.
- Fragile cycle – Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose. Breaking trust damages the relationship.
- Dialog creates innovation – The best innovation happens when everyone is trusted to do their job, and they are honest. This in turn creates more trust.
What I Learned Doing This Video
- Prewriting the intro makes it sound a lot better.
- Talking slower made it sound better
- Now I have to move the camera closer (thanks Yuriy B.)
