Show up as trustworthy: A conversation about trust.
đȘđȘ Celebrating two years of big conversations from the comfy chairs.
What makes a leader trustworthy?
In this special anniversary episode of the comfy chairs, Kate and Angela revisit one of the most foundationalâand often most fragileâelements of effective leadership: trust.
Together, they unpack how trust shapes team dynamics, leadership credibility, and even business outcomes. This isnât just about âbeing niceââitâs about communication, consistency, and taking responsibility for the flow of information. Angela shares how structured communication cascades and intentional touchpoints foster connection, while Kate explores the link between trust and workplace dignity.
They also talk honestly about what happens when trust breaks downâand what it takes to repair it.
Whether youâre new to leadership or have a few hard-earned scars, this episode invites you to reflect, recalibrate, and keep showing up. Because trust isnât a traitâitâs a practice.
