If you want people to trust you, don’t wait for it to happen. Build it.
In this solo episode, Jay breaks down five practical strategies for becoming someone your colleagues, leaders, stakeholders, and direct reports genuinely trust. Because when people see you as credible, they’re more likely to invite you into important conversations, listen to your ideas, and give you a seat at the table.
Jay shares why getting results is only the beginning. He explains how to socialize your accomplishments without bragging, build credibility behind the scenes, demonstrate that you’re truly listening through “repeat backs” and “call backs,” and grant trust instead of waiting for others to earn it. If you want to strengthen your influence and become someone people consistently turn to, these five strategies offer a practical place to start.
