On Being Consistent
At the core of all relationships sits one thing. Maintain it, nurture it, deepen it and you will deepen the strength of the relationship. Lose it, even for a moment, and the relationship is forever altered, perhaps lost, certainly permanently diminished. That one thing?
Trust
Today’s post is a curation of an article by Rachel Botsman, a thinker and writer I have followed since she wrote “Who can you Trust” about three years ago. Links to articles on this site inspired by Rachel’s thinking here.
What I love about this latest article is her thinking around the power of consistency. As I reflect on that, I think most of personal relationships, then also business, politicians and brands and then a phrase that resonates for me, “how you do anything is how you do everything”. I shared some of my own thoughts and examples around inconsistency diminishing trust in a lengthy blog in 2018.
With that, enjoy Rachel’s piece.
