Brene Brown is an American professor, lecturer, author, and podcast host.  Brown has spent decades studying the topics of courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.  Her TED talk, "The Power of Vulnerability"[1], has been widely viewed.

Trust is built slowly over time, Brene uses a marble jar metaphor; “We can deposit marbles and build up our sense of trust or withdraw them and degrade that sense of trust through our interactions”.

Trust can be deposited through[2]:

  • Asking for help
  • Receiving the generosity of others
  • Giving without recompense
  • Contributing constructive and helpful feedback
  • Designating and maintaining clear boundaries,
  • Being capable and reliable
  • Owning your sh*t
  • Being a vault
  • Choosing courage over comfort
  • Practicing non-judgement
  • Standing up for someone through integrity
  • Creating a generous narrative about others.

Brene has defined the acronym BRAVING for elements that makeup trust.

  • Boundaries
  • Reliability
  • Accountability
  • Vault
  • Integrity
  • Non-judgment
  • Generosity
