The Trust Competencies & Shadows cards
The Trust Competencies & Shadows cards are divided into 3 categories:
Integrity is about the adherence to one’s own value system.
Emotional Mastery is about emotional intelligence.
We Disposition is about the relationships with the others.
These categories reflect the three components of the Pillar of Trust. The Pillar of Trust is the foundation of the IFB model (Interconnectivity, Flow and Balance), a values-based methodology for transforming cultures. It is an inside-out process that starts by developing leaders, building their skills to strengthen personal and team trust. The Pillar of trust is designed by Yvette Bethel, CEO of Organizational Soul, a global organization that supports the creation of conscious organizations.
It enables inside-out transformation, as individuals within organizations must grow personally before they can meaningfully contribute to team transformation.
When team members trust one another more deeply, relationships have the potential to become stronger, and leaders can respond more effectively in complex, uncertain, and unpredictable environments.
1. Enhancing your Trust Styles
This card sort aims to provide ideas you can use to enhance your trust style (or how you trust). The Trust Style Inventory assessment can provide insights into your trust patterns, but it is not mandatory to complete it to get the most out of this activity.
Use the Integrity, Emotional Mastery, and We Disposition cards. Place them side-by-side on the table in a row.
Write on sticky notes your key questions or challenge (one concept/one sticky note) and create a column, for example:
My strongest competencies for each style
The competencies I need in this situation/with this person
My opportunities for improvement and growth
Each Trust Competencies card describes various characteristics or dynamics related to trust.
Be sure to read each Trust Competency card and sort them under the three anchor cards while you reflect on your goals.
2. Defining your priorities
Materials
Trust Competencies cards
Priority cards
Post-it
Pens
Place the five Priority cards (Critical, Very Important, Important, Somewhat Important, and Not Important) side by side, in descending order of priority.
Take the Trust Competencies card deck. Each Trust Competencies card represents a specific trait or dynamic related to trust. Carefully read through each card and sort it beneath one of the five Anchor categories based on its relevance to a strategy you could use for addressing a damaged or challenging relationship.
Take your time reviewing the cards—it's perfectly fine if not all of them end up in your final selection.
Focus on the cards categorized as Critical and Very Important. Reflect on the statements on these cards as you begin to document strategies for strengthening the relationships you selected.
If you have already completed the Trust Style Inventory assessment, use those insights to prioritize areas where you can improve your ability to trust and to recognize the strengths you bring to trust-building efforts.
3. About Trustworthiness and Trust willingness
Materials
Trust Competencies cards
Anchor cards
Post-it
Trustworthiness and trust willingness represent two complementary aspects of building trust, they are like two sides of the same coin. Both are essential when forming new relationships or deepening existing ones.
For this sort, you’ll use two Anchor cards: Building My Trustworthiness and Enhancing My Trust Willingness.
Place them side by side.
Read through the Trust Competencies cards — each of which reflects a different element or dynamic of trust.
Sort them under the Anchor card that best aligns with how you'd like to grow in trust and connection. It’s okay if not all cards are used in the final sort.
Once you’ve completed the sorting, prioritize the cards in each category. Reflect on their content as you outline a strategy to strengthen a specific relationship or to cultivate trust more broadly.
You’re not limited to the existing cards: feel free to create your own using post-its or index cards to represent additional competencies or ideas.
