#75: We're in a Trust Recession (And It's Costing You $10 Trillion)

Only 21% of employees trust their leadership and 65% of Gen Z workers quit within their first year. If your team's turnover, disengagement, or stalled growth has you stumped, the missing ingredient might be simpler than you think.In this episode, Eric Pfeiffer and Dawn Neldon dig into what they call the "trust recession" — the quiet erosion of trust reshaping today's workplaces. They unpack why "it's just business, not personal" is a dying philosophy, and share the real story of a stalled real estate team that doubled its monthly production once they stopped chasing aspirational values and started building trust as a daily practice. As Dawn puts it, "Trust is the currency of team synergy."You'll walk away with the three concrete, repeatable ingredients of trust; making people feel seen, heard, and valued and exactly how to put them into practice, whether you're leading a team of five or five hundred. Eric explains it best: "The only way to overcome that risk is to build a bridge over the gap. And that bridge is trust." This episode reframes trust not as a soft skill, but as the hard currency every business relationship (team, client, or vendor) is built on.Listen now to learn how to close your team's trust gap before it costs you your best people.
