Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. Trust is earned. It's built over time. Trust is a verb - something one DOES vs what they SAY.

Loosing trust to betrayal & deceit is a heartbreaking difficult loss. And when trust is violated and lost, respect or lack thereof follows. Restoring trust again and earning trust again requires evidence by action—Evidence defined by our Character & Competencies. Who we are. How we behave. What we choose. What we DO. They're all one in the same.
