Trust: Are you giving it too freely or not enough?

Do you trust people upfront—or do they have to earn it first? And what does that say about you as a leader?

In this episode of Lead with Levity, I sit down with Charles Feltman, executive coach and bestselling author of The Thin Book of Trust, to break down what trust really is (hint: it’s not just reliability). We tackle the trust spectrum—why some people extend trust automatically while others make you jump through hoops—and what that means for your leadership, relationships, and success.

🚨 If you’ve ever been burned by trusting the wrong person or struggled to earn trust from your team, this episode is a must-listen. 🚨

We’ll cover:
✔️ The four dimensions of trust (and where most leaders go wrong)
✔️ The biggest mistake people make when trying to rebuild trust
✔️ Why some leaders struggle to trust their teams—and how that backfires
✔️ How to balance healthy skepticism with open-hearted leadership

Trust is one of the most valuable currencies in leadership—but are you handling it wisely? Tune in to find out.
