It’s all about TRUST!

2 minute read

Hello I’m Terry Malloy

And before I say anything more below this video you’ll find a button to a transcript of what I’m saying.

So if you don’t have the time or the inclination right now to watch me, then feel free to click the button and just read what I’m going to be saying.

So the first thing I want to say is this Permission to be Human workshop has been designed to support micro business owners and business professionals find a lasting balance between the ever-increasing demands of their day job and their personal wellbeing.

It’s for people who believe in being kind and respectful, open and honest….

And for those people who want to do business with people they genuinely ‘know, like and TRUST’

It’s for people who believe in what we call ‘putting human into business’

The second thing to say is that this isn’t a lecture or a presentation. We like to think of it more like a community building workshop between likeminded people.  Which means you and the other attendees are going to be doing at least half of the talking.

So, if that sounds like something that would be of interest to you then you’re definitely in ‘the right place’.

Now I appreciate that for some people, even in this ‘post pandemic world’, talking to a group of strangers via Zoom might still feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe even a bit challenging.

So what’s really important to us is that this workshop creates the kind of safe environment that can genuinely foster real connections. Connections that recognise we’re all human. That we all have “stuff” going on in our lives and that’s no one is perfect because for us that’s the basis of trust.

And yes I know I’ve already mentioned the word TRUST a couple of times in this video. So let’s talk a little bit more about TRUST.

If you look up the definition of “trust” in the Cambridge dictionary, you find the following:

“to believe that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or that something is safe and reliable”

For us trust is one of those words that unfortunately seems to be bandied around somewhat loosely today but it really shouldn’t be because TRUST is right at the heart of everything we as people do.

Its only through TRUSTED relationships, friendships if you like, that we can not only future proof our businesses, but more importantly actually reduce the amount of stress and anxiety we feel. Which basically means, the more trust you experience the more you can just  relax and be yourself. Which ultimately means the happier and more contented we become. Which leads to a greater sense of wellbeing. Which is where really success ultimately comes from.

So, you might be saying, “Well Terry, that’s all well and good but if TRUST is that important where does it come from and how can I proactively create it?“

And I’d answer you by saying trust comes from building “real” relationships, with “real” people and that requires you getting to know them at a deeper more personal level. Not the usual superficial level. Because if people really do buy from people they KNOW, LIKE and TRUST then you have to help them understand that they can trust you and that means you’ve got to put away that “work mask”, that ‘suit of armour’ and start being human. Start being the real you and show that you care about them too.

Does that make sense?

Great.

And just to be clear, trusting someone doesn’t always mean that you’ll agree with them, but it certainly helps if you know you share the same values.

So when you come along just relax. Stop looking to pitch. Put your business brand away and instead be yourself. Don’t be the version you believe other people expect you to be and start getting to know each other as people.

In other words, give yourself PERMISSION TO BE HUMAN.

Sound good?

Great

And although this is technically a business meeting, we want you to relax and enjoy the time you spend with us. So feel free to bring a drink and some nibbles along with you.

And be prepared to have some fun!!!!!

I think that just about covers everything I wanted to say.

If you’ve watched this video all the way through, thank you so much for your patience. If you’ve got  any questions you want to ask then feel free to either email me or call me on the details below.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
