One World in a New World with Dennis Reina - Author/Leadership Consultant

It's been over a decade since Dennis and I first met in Crystal City, VA. at an American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) international leadership conference. Now the Association for Talent Development, the event was full of instructional developers and chief learning officers. His work and business has grown substantially since then.

Dennis Reina, Ph.D. and his life and business partner, Michelle Reina, Ph.D. are the founders of Reina Trust Building®, a global consulting, assessment, coaching and development firm that has worked with leaders and teams in more than 250 organizations worldwide, and on every continent.

Reina helps organizations build and rebuild trust and exceed business goals through the power of human connection, no matter the company size, structure, location or market challenges. Trust Building makes these organizations measurably more energetic, adaptive and capable.

Our conversation covers his early explorations of taking advantage of traveling companions and finding his first job. It was a very interesting an unique one. He shares some about a Near-Death Experience he had early in life, too. We jump around from one spot to another and eventually land in a discussion about trust.

Dennis gets a bit caught up in books and models in an effort to explain what he's found leads to being able to discuss and initiate organizational culture trust. Why is it so important and how do you build or re-build trust within an organization?

Dennis is a cancer survivor as well, and we speak about the process of getting through the tough patches and grow into a future with less trepidation. We discuss more about questions, developing processes and building trust with self and others.

Like a true presenter, he pulls out a prop to help illustrate the various factors involved in trust. Bringing in the sense of trust and how it feels, with a little sidetrack, I was searching for a deeper explanation on how the trust in interpreted by the body. How would a leader learn how to tune into the gut, the intuition, of how the trust level is discerned.

Dennis shares some methods of inquiry to flush out details using the framework he and his wife have developed over the years. Character, Capability and Communication all affect trust. How do we work through questions that need to be asked in order to move the playing field to the next level and invite players to participate in a more authentic and honest fashion?
