    Do you feel like trust works both ways in your workplace?

    With the sustained rise in remote or semi-remote roles, the importance of trust in the workplace is top of mind. But trust needs to work both ways, right? The question isn’t only "can employers trust their employees", it also needs to be "can employees trust their employers?"

    Rachel Botsman is a trust expert, author and lecturer at Oxford University. She's passionate about challenging ideas around trust and humility and has been recognised as one of the world's 30 most influential management thinkers. Honoured as a young global leader by the World Economic Forum, Rachel’s TED Talks have garnered more than 5 million views.

    Rachel defines trust as a confident relationship with the unknown and in this short snippet of a longer conversation she really helps us understand how we can cultivate it in our workplaces.

    Show notes:

    This conversation is full of laughter and warmth. The full episode is the same and can be found here.

Love the TV Episodes

The Succession and Ted Lasso episodes drew me to this podcast. Very interesting. I am in Human Resources so this is up my alley in more ways than one. And both shows are in my top 10 all time favorites. Ted Lasso could be #1.

Rachel ROCKS it on TRUST

Wow, Rachel exudes wisdom. She brings so much clarity and meaning to the all important topic of trust. Countless nuggets: “Trust is a confident relationship with the unknown”
Host Damon’s thoughtful insight and personal authenticity add to the richness of this eye-opening and transformational conversation.

Wilson Sporting Goods has a Great Culture!

Joining the Wilson team and culture has likely been the greatest decision I have ever made. The products are many and fantastic to work on, the people are a joy with very few phonies, the variety of projects is almost limitless, the encouragement culture is refreshing, and the impact one can have is quite fulfilling. Current CEO Joe Dudy is a true cheerer of company colleagues and realistic on how we can win daily given the opportunities and challenges we face. And, I met my wife decades ago on a blind date set up by a fellow Wilson employee, so it truly is the best decision I have made. Go Wilson Culture - it is so great for so many!
