Trust Reflection Cards

The goal of this card sort is to provide ideas you can use to enhance trust. The Trust Style Inventory can provide insights into your trust patterns, but it is not mandatory to complete the inventory to get the most out of this activity.

There are three Anchor Cards in this sort: Integrity, Emotional Mastery, and your We Disposition. Place them side-by-side on the table. 

Each Trust Reflection card describes various characteristics of Trust, or asks questions about dynamics related to Trust. Read each Trust Reflection card and sort them under the three Anchor Cards if they apply to how you would like to approach trust in the future.

This sort has five Anchor Cards: Critical, Very Important, Important, Somewhat Important, and Not Important. Place them side-by-side, in descending order. Each Trust Reflection card describes or poses questions about various characteristics or dynamics related to trust. Read each card and sort them under the five anchor cards if they apply to how you would like to build trust in a new relationship or strengthen trust in an existing one.

Take the time to read all the Trust Reflection Cards. They may not all end up in your final sort, which is okay. The next step is to prioritize the Cards in the Critical and Very Important groupings, then reflect on the statements and questions on each card as you document your strategy(ies) for enhancing your selected relationship(s). If you completed the Trust Style Inventory, you could prioritize your opportunities for improving how you trust and consider your trust-building assets in your strategy.
