This book contains proven 10-step guidelines on how to build trust in yourself and trust others. The title says it all. How do we make other people trust us? This question has been bothering leaders and managers throughout the centuries. This book aims to answer this question. "Trust is one of the pillars of a strong relationship." When people choose whom to trust, they do not use logic or rational thinking. We do not trust someone based solely on his or her track record. Our mind collects a combination of verbal and non-verbal cues to guess if a person we just met is trustworthy.

Communication is the most important aspect of our daily lives, yet most of us are not very good at it, and it takes a back seat in academic study. We learn history, science, and math, and we learn to memorize the spelling of words and their meanings as well as how to put them together in sentences through proper punctuation. However, we receive little instruction on how to use those words and sentences to express adequately our ideas, create consensus, resolve conflicts, and improve our alliances.
