Thank you for this motivation! Thankfully, I'm not having any trust issues with any coworkers, but it's a good reminder, regardless.

Alway a good tip to keep in your back pocket. We all step in it sometimes 😅

I really love this - thank you so much for sharing. I can relate. I have been in situations where I just don't feel comfortable with my colleagues for several different reason.

How to Repair Trust with a Coworker

Call to Action: Follow these tips to address communication mishaps that left a colleague with bad feelings. These are critical to repair your workplace relationships and continue to Earn Trust every day.  

What to do:

1.       Don’t Explain: Sometimes your impact doesn’t match your intent. Instead of explaining (defending) yourself, try to empathize on the impact your actions had.

2.       Listen with Curiosity: Let your colleague know you care about the relationship and acknowledge the situation. Ask them to share their side of the story and what behaviors that you demonstrated lost their trust.

3.       Validate and Take Responsibility: You don’t have to agree with your colleague’s interpretation but you need to recognize their interpretation. Validate their experience and take responsibility for the behavior and it’s (unintended) impact.

4.       Take your Time to Move to Solution: If during the conversation with your colleague things get heated, take a break. You may need a few rounds of listening to repair trust. Pay attention to your own potential unconscious bias and come back when you are prepared to have a constructive conversation.

If you have policies in place, exercise them. Don't hide behind technicality or sweep misconduct under the rug.

We all have beautiful names and we should all be addressed by those names and the pronouns that we identify with. I particularly like Erik and you can refer to me as He/Him or They/Them.

At MNP, we foster an inclusive and safe environment for all to openly share their pronouns. We respect the pronouns that you choose to identify with.

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great!

Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?
