As a High D personality...this has been a major struggle for me, I have minimized output in many projects because "I had to do it", "I should just make the decision", and so on. So, now I am looking to spread my DISC and raise my S and C when needed. I work with many great leaders...but my mentor has been a huge example to me in these trust building areas: 1) Communication-He is one of the best male communicators I have ever been associated with, he edifies, encourages, entertains (makes you laugh), and invests time and effort into the relationship 2) Leads with action by example-It is completely obvious of the actions he is taking in building the leadership community, because I know he is out there giving his time, effort, and finances to help others I can trust that he believes in what he says and that he will do anything legal, moral, and ethical to help me succeed 3) Trusts me first-I have never had him question a statement out of distrust, not believe me, or go behind my back to see if I was telling the truth. He often tells me of his trust and respect and love for me and my family. He also shows his trust for me and my family by edifying us and others in group settings. 4) Shows his trust by his actions-This may be splitting hairs but this is some of the most important decisions he has made that allowed me to build our trust to the level it is at. To make a long story short, I was extremely rude to him, I joined the Team, was excited for a week, than effectively stopped everything. I would not return calls, emails, anything to this mentor of mine who was a great friend from college. We even got married and I invited many people BUT him and his wife. Eventually, after hearing of his growth as a leader and a father and a husband, my wife and I were more interested in the Team so we called him. From the get go he was loving, respectful, and welcoming...even giving me our than "hot product" as I wanted some for a get together I was having. He wouldn't let me pay... Fast forward a month, our actions and belief are increasing and I really wanted a Top 50 but I couldn't afford the entire thing...so I was going to do 10 at a time per week. When I went to pick up my first 10...it was a top 50! I said, "?" Actually I don't think I could say anything. He said, "Phill, this is the Top 50 you wanted right? (Shake head with inaudible uh huh) Well, I know you wanted to do 10 at a time...so just pay me what you can, when you can, I trust you a ton, I know you'll pay me. If it's not what you want and after a while you can't pay me, no problem just give it back so I can help someone else :)" At that point in time in my thinking $20.40 in product blew my mind...but a whole Top 50! Those were investments that were paid back in money and in many other ways and I hope that I can continue to show him my appreciation by helping other people the rest of my life. Trust others with love, because we were loved first Phill
