What practical strategies does Dr Mitchell Levy offer for cultivating trust in teams?

1. Create safety for real truth
   When people feel they can “pull the friend card” with you (like a child being fully honest with a parent), you know trust is real. Invite dissent, thank people for bad news, and never punish honesty.

2. Lead with presence, not just position
   In the Sydney Harbor story, simply holding space and letting others share freely turned a casual gathering into a trust‑building masterclass. Listen more than you speak. Reflect back what you heard. Avoid rushing to “fix.”

3. Live your values in moments that matter
   Trust comes from what you do under pressure, not what is on your website. Be consistent between words and actions, especially when it costs you time, money, or ego.
