Description

What's the real cost of unhealed betrayal in leadership? It's not just personal—it creates a "trust deficit environment" that taxes your entire team's performance. Leaders who haven't processed betrayal often micromanage, withhold, or project skepticism, which stifles creativity, communication, and initiative. 

In this episode, Dr. Debi Silber reveals how healing betrayal unlocks what she calls the trust dividend—the extraordinary return on investment that happens when leaders restore self-trust and extend authentic trust to others. You'll learn a powerful daily practice called trust-building micro-acknowledgments—a fifteen-second tool that builds trust, resilience, and innovation across your team. 

Trust isn't just a value—it's a competitive advantage. And it begins with healing.
