Trust on Purpose

By: Charles Feltman and Ila Edgar
  • Summary

  • Are you intentional about building, maintaining or repairing trust with the people in your life? Most of us aren’t, and sometimes important relationships suffer as a result. So much of what is right or amiss in those relationships ties back to trust, whether we realize it or not. We are dedicated to helping you become intentional about cultivating strong trust with everyone important in your life: the people and teams you lead and work with, and your family, friends and community, as well. In the Trust on Purpose podcast, we dive into everything that makes up trust, what supports and damages it. We unpack situations we commonly see with leaders, teams, organizations, and others we work with to show how trust can be strengthened, sustained, and repaired when broken. Listen in for conversations between two pros who care deeply about you being an intentional and masterful trust-builder in your life so you and your relationships flourish. We share pragmatic and actionable takeaways you can use immediately and deepen with practice. If you have questions or situations related to trust that you’d like us to talk about in a future episode, please email charles@insightcoaching.com or ila@bigchangeinc.com.

    Ever wondered how avoiding difficult conversations could be sabotaging your relationships and your career? Join us as we explore the art of timely communication, inspired by insights from Joseph Grenny's "Crucial Conversations." We delve into the reasons we shy away from those essential talks, whether it's fear, procrastination, or the pressures of a fast-paced environment. We share personal anecdotes and reflect on our own internal battles that hold us back from addressing critical issues.

    We'll guide you through the complexities of workplace communication and trust, and provide practical advice for maintaining your core values and assessing your role if you're consistently avoiding necessary dialogues at work.

    In a world that demands constant multitasking and perfection, it’s easy for self-trust to slip through the cracks. In this episode of Trust on Purpose, we dive into what it really means to trust yourself and how it shapes both your personal and professional life.

    We share an honest conversation about how life’s changes can shake our confidence and why it’s okay (and even helpful) to let go of the pressure to remember everything and focus on what truly matters. You’ll hear practical ways to tell the difference between real concerns and fear-based doubts and about the power of being honest about your limits and how that honesty can build stronger trust with yourself and others. And when it comes to intuition, we explore how pairing your gut instincts with data and experience can lead to better, more grounded decisions.

    This episode is packed with relatable insights and practical tips to help you strengthen your self-trust, lean into vulnerability, and create a more authentic life - at work and beyond.

    Get ready to dive deep in this episode of Trust on Purpose, where hosts Charles Feltman and Ila Edgar tackle big questions around trust and artificial intelligence - starting with a curious twist! It kicks off with the story of a school project involving AI-generated sloth images - yes, sloths - and quickly jumps into a thought-provoking conversation about the ripple effects of AI on trust in our daily lives. Can we believe everything we see and hear in a world where AI is increasingly behind the scenes? Charles and Ila dig into the complexities of transparency, potential deception, and our ethical responsibility to be upfront about AI's role in the content we create and consume.

    This episode is more about asking questions than answering them, guiding listeners through the foggy territory where trust and tech overlap. Charles and Ila discuss how openness and integrity can keep psychological safety alive in our teams and relationships, especially as AI takes a bigger role in shaping what we see and believe. Tune in for a candid, unfiltered discussion on navigating trust in a digital age where things aren’t always what they seem!
