Our ability to build confident relationships has always been centered in trust. This phrase is credited to Franklin Covey who viewed trust as currency in effective workgroups. Sure, money is a motivation for investing in skills-building, but what about love?
Philosopher, mentor, and future ancestor adrienne maree brown elevated this phrase, in social-movement and community-organizing spaces in her book Emergent Strategy (2017). The reframed centers cooperative action, in service to love. When any not-for-profit team creates solutions from love, they speak love and express love, at the speed of trust. It can not be purchased, it must be created from healing-centered, relational, trauma-aware principle.
Leadership that centers loved based activities, parents who create a loved based home, and non-monagamy tribes that create ethical domestic cohesion are all engineering trust, rooted in agreements, aware of experimenting principles, and failing as ofter as they find wins. Collective care is how secure relationships evolve into love based harmony. Conflict navigation is a skill, workgroups, families, and couples all deserve expansive resourcing and we have earned a reputation for understanding many stories, and rewriting the narratives that support the trust based love we all deserve.
The below video is a clip from a Self-trust workgroup in 2022 because growURpotential.org anchors all care partnerships in “move at the speed of trust” became pace, consent, relational readiness, and emotional safety, produce trust. We need all of these present to reach secure trust, and many arrive without access to most of what is required.
We support allowing in relationship repair, we monitor energy, and we look for next best actions, without forcing outcomes. We point out controlling habits, invite brave reflection and comfort with curated content that soothes the nurvouse system while we heal broken hearts. Trust can only be broken if it ever existed, and we attend to injury so repaired trust can be stronger than before.
While maturing happens to the best of us, we are never done growing once we understand growth. If this video appeals to you, we invite you to try any of the workgroups in our Healing Healer Circles & Practice Spaces or sign up for a consultation for direct support.
