Interview with Darryl Stickel

Published: Sept. 5, 2023, 7 a.m.

What is THE key ingredient to making anything happen in a relationship, at home, at work, or in the world? That ingredient is TRUST.

We are so fortunate to have Dr Darryl Stickel, the world\u2019s foremost expert on the topic of TRUST join us for this podcast. This one ranks among the top 1% of my personal favorites, by the way. Why? Because the information offered here permeates EVERYTHING we do.

Like so many, Darryl didn\u2019t have an easy start. Coming from a rough and rugged town in British Columbia, Darryl learned to stick up for others in the face of bullies. He also learned that he was protected as well. But his path wasn\u2019t that easy. He became legally blind along the way and, in an altercation on the hockey ice, Darryl was beaten badly by a \u201cfan\u201d with a stick.

Key ingredients to this podcast:

     \u2022  We interpret the world through stories; so what stories do you feed?
     \u2022  How do you gain a sustainable competitive advantage over any competition?
                  \u25cb You build sustainable long term relationships!
     \u2022  Trust becomes the \u201csocial lubricant\u201d as it helps bring out imagination, creativity, and productivity.
     \u2022  The Equation: Perceived Uncertainty X Perceived Vulnerability = RISK
                  \u25cb How likely is it I\u2019ll be harmed X How badly will it hurt = RISK
     \u2022  These are in your power to change the Trust Balance in the relationship:
                 \u25cb Benevolence - demonstrating you have the others\u2019 best interest at heart
                 \u25cb Integrity - your actions that demonstrate follow-through on your word
                 \u25cb Ability - can you actually DO what you said you\u2019d do
                 \u25cb Context - what is the nature of the engagement, where are you, with whom, etc.
     \u2022  If Uncertainty is high, it\u2019s likely that Vulnerability will be lower (you - or the other -
        will feel a need for self-protection)
     \u2022  Leadership Mistake: Cling to the old out of fear of making a mistake.
                \u25cb Antidote: Lean into learning the new
                         \u25d8 Share your responses to when you make mistakes
     \u2022  Create a shared narrative
