Episode Notes

It’s one of the most common reasons why teams (and even businesses) fail: a lack of trust between people who are supposed to work together. But trust doesn’t happen automatically and it’s not an infinite resource. So on this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we take a look at Brené Brown’s BRAVING framework to help your team to trust each other. Listen to the end to find out more about your podcast homework!

We begin by defining what trust is and, more importantly, what it isn’t. Using Brené Brown’s marble jar story, we flip a common perception about trust on its head and explain why trust lives in small actions, not big sweeping gestures. Then we unpack the BRAVING framework and go through each aspect of trust, sharing examples of how we see this played out in the food industry. And we tell you about how you can use this knowledge to create a trusting team in your workplace!

We’d love to hear your results from the BRAVING Inventory – how trusting are you and your team? Get in touch with us to share your trust stories via our Oh For Food’s Sake Facebook or LinkedIn page!
