My recent Relationship Story, “The Synergy of Trust”, included a request for input from members of this community.
The survey request was: Please identify three words that you feel describe the keys that make trust flourish in relationships.
The response was great. I really appreciate the participation – this community really has a “voice”. The top five answers were Honesty, Respectfulness, Integrity, Openness and Caring. The top twenty answers are listed below with the number of times that each was named. I took the liberty of grouping these into four general areas including: Beliefs, Principles, Dependabilities and Behaviors.
| Beliefs | Principles | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Faithfulness | Honesty | ||
| Tolerance | Integrity | ||
| Confidence | Opennes | ||
| Love | Caring | ||
| Empathy | |||
| Sincerity |
……………………………………………………………………………………..
| Dependabilites | Behaviors | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Commitment | Respectfulness | ||
| Reliability | Transparency | ||
| Consistency | Generosity | ||
| Accountability | Vulnerability | ||
| Listening | |||
| Communication |
I hope you find this information to be valuable. At least for me, it is very helpful to have a map to follow toward greater trust in my relationships.
Sincerely,
