Quick Win: How to rebuild trust at work when its broken

August 30, 2026·7 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Trust doesn’t rebuild with one big apology. It grows back quietly - through small, consistent moments that prove you mean what you say.  In this Quick Win episode, my teammate Aly Solly and I share how we rebuilt trust after one of Inventium’s toughest years. Together, we discovered that trust isn’t restored overnight - it’s rebuilt in small, deliberate ways that show care, honesty, and vulnerability.  Aly and I discuss:  The moment a leadership wellbeing survey sparked real vulnerability  Why openness - when it feels uncomfortable - can transform a relationship  How showing up consistently matters more than grand gestures  The “ugly cry” call that turned a breaking point into a rebuild  What to do when you’re trying to repair trust at work    KEY QUOTES “Trust doesn’t hinge on one big apology or grand gesture. It’s built through the small stuff - the check-ins, the honesty, the willingness to be vulnerable.”  “You don’t wait for the perfect moment. You just start showing up consistently and with care.”    Connect with Aly Solly on LinkedIn.  Listen to the full conversation with Aly here.    My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
