Smart Trust®

Minimize Risk and Maximize Possibilities

We live in a low-trust world surrounded by crises and challenges. Who can you trust? How can you trust?

Choosing Smart Trust will enable you to operate with high-trust in a low-trust and unpredictable marketplace. The more unpredictable it becomes, the more your sound judgment and ability to trust becomes a tremendous competitive advantage—and gives you the ability to navigate the uncertainty that low trust creates.

Based on the book, “Smart Trust” by Stephen M. R. Covey and Greg Link, this course will help you understand how trust issues impact every situation in life. Trusted people are more likely to get hired or promoted, get the best projects and bigger budgets, and are last to be laid off. In Smart Trust, you will learn the five trust actions that will help you minimize risk while maximizing possibilities. This course will give you the tools you need to extend Smart Trust, which will help you enjoy greater prosperity, energy, and joy—both personally and professionally.

The first job of a leader—at work or at home—is to inspire trust. It’s to bring out the best in people by entrusting them with meaningful stewardships, and to create an environment in which high-trust interaction inspires creativity and possibility.
