Why You Should Attend

Based on John’s prize-winning doctoral research and acclaimed book, ‘The Trusted Executive’, John will help you build a positive relationship with your workforce by developing trustworthiness as a leader.
 
With this innovative and practical coaching model, you will be able to review the broader purpose of your business, learn the trust formula (trustworthiness = ability x integrity x benevolence) and understand why this formula inspires results, relationships and reputations in a digital, globalised world where nothing can be hidden. 
 
You will assess your own trust habits using the unique ‘trust quotient’ TQ questionnaire. This questionnaire assesses leaders against the following nine habits:
 
Ability
• Deliver
• Coach
• Be Consistent   
 
Integrity
• Be Honest
• Be Open
• Be Humble
 
Benevolence
• Evangelise
• Be Brave
• Be Kind
 
The impact of the investment in this evidence-based programme is to develop a high trust culture which in turn leads to an energised and innovative environment at work in which people feel safe, trusted and confident to take the initiative and do their best work.

Testimonials

"A gold-mine of tips, tools, insightful anecdotes and business best-practice. A resource to keep close by your side."
Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever (From the foreword of the book)
 
"The Trusted Executive is well researched and organized. It provides a practical roadmap for leaders to make trust an intentional business strategy. I’ve read many books on organizational trust and John’s is one of the best, a welcome addition, and a must read."
Barbara Brooks Kimmel, CEO, Trust Across America
 
“It’s refreshing to read a leadership book that wears its expertise and research so lightly, without a shred of pomposity or arrogance. “The Trusted Executive” is, in one sense, an easy read since its conversational style is so engaging, but it is not an easy read in that it will inspire in you a quiet determination to hold yourself to a new - and higher - standard: that of the trusted, and trustworthy, steward.”
Heath Monk, CEO, Management Issues
 
“John’s book is based on a combination of academic research, interviews, case studies and the author’s own experience as an executive coach. It is an intriguing mixture of self-coaching manual and a thought-provoking call for change."
Piers Cain, Dialogue Magazine
 
"John delivered an inspiring keynote at our Entrepreneur of the Year event. He was spontaneous and dynamic in pitching his session at just the right level for our audience of entrepreneurs. I am sure that those present picked up on his passion for the topic of leadership trust and left with new thinking and renewed commitment to step up to the trust-building challenge. An excellent contribution." 
Neil Meredith, Partner, Ernst & Young
