Relationship Building
Building trust with senior executives over time
Trust is built in small, repeated moments. A practical model for leaders who want deeper peer relationships.

The takeaway
Trust grows from reliability, discretion and generosity, demonstrated repeatedly over months.
Reliability
Do what you say you will do, even small things. Sending the promised article signals how you will handle bigger commitments.
Discretion
Senior leaders often share challenges they cannot discuss at work. Keeping those conversations private is essential.
Repetition
Seeing someone several times a year at recurring gatherings builds familiarity that a single meeting cannot.
This is why consistent attendance matters more than attending everything.
