Imagine the strongest bridge you have traveled upon. Regardless of its size, the distance it spans, or the two areas it connects, building this connecting pathway took planning, time and foundational pillars sunk into deep bedrock. Building trust with others, especially with co-workers, takes many of the same qualities. Intentional effort to honor and value others, faithful consistency in word and action, and the time-tested fulfillment of spoken promises each provide the necessary materials for building an enduring and strong trust bridge with others. In many ways, on-going trust behaves more like a living thing, than something that is accomplished and finished. A virtue that needs faithful attention and intentional valuing, its presence inserts itself into every aspect of organizational life. Take a moment today to evaluate your trust bridges with those you walk with. Are you making each of them stronger and connecting with others in a secure way? Make 2016 the year of strengthening each of your trust bridges.

"I have known Mark for almost 2 decades. We have partnered in many areas of life together. Mark has served as an Advisor and on the Board of Directors for my International Non-Profit organization for over 12 years. His words of wisdom, counsel and strategic planning have allowed us as an organization to grow steadily and solidly. We now feed orphans in S. Africa, rescue children and women in Brazil, feed the hungry in Israel, and share a message of hope here in the USA and internationally.I recommend Mark as a consultant, coach and facilitator with the highest of accolades. I have worked with many people over the years in government, high-end retail, accounting, and now as the founder of an international organization; Mark is a rare-gem of wisdom, counsel, and reliability.
