Why us?

We are practitioners; we are not theorists. Through years of first-hand experience as senior executives ourselves, we have discovered that there are measurable financial and personal deficits or what we call the Trust Tax™ exacted on low-trust organizations and relationships. We have developed the technology that will equip you and your organization to turn this devastating tax into a Trust Dividendä. It will increase your speed and reduce your costs. It will significantly increase your profits—both financially and in energy and joy—and transform the way you do business on every level.

Our approach is not just another jargony, content-laden program-of-the-month developed in the laboratory of a theoretical mind. Our technology introduces a fresh way of doing business at The Speed of Trust and is informed by over 20 years of hands-on, executive leadership experience and a decade of research developed by a CEO practitioner.

We focus on one thing: Trust. We are passionately committed to equipping you, your team or your organization to build trust into a unique competitive advantage.

We have identified 13 behaviors common to high trust people and leaders around the world.

We are uniquely qualified to enable you to not only assess your current trust levels but to measure the specific underlying components of trust—both at the individual leader level and with the team or organization at large. This equips you to focus on the specific behaviors that will increase and build trust into the fabric of your team and your organization.

Once you determine your specific focus we have developed extensive tools to implement and build trust from the executive team to the line leaders and workers of your organization in North America and throughout the world.

“Covey and Link are true thought leaders at demonstrating how trust grows businesses. They have both been instrumental in my success and influence.”

Stephen R. Covey
Author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: from Effectiveness to Greatness

“Collaboration is the foundation of the standard of living we enjoy today. Trust is the glue. The Speed of Trust is the first book that teaches the ‘whats’ and the ‘hows’ of trust. A must read for leaders at all levels.”

“Books showed me there were possibilities in life, that there were actually people like me living in a world I should not only aspire to, but attain. Reading gave me Hope. For me, it was the open door.”

Oprah

“Stephen M. R. Covey’s book on trust is an exceptional piece of work. He allows us to dig deep and understand trust in ways that have never been exposed.”

Stedman Graham

“Stephen Covey’s work changed the world. I’d bet the price of this exciting book and more that his son, Stephen M.R. Covey, will have at least as much impact. The Speed of Trust is an amazing book starting with its novel and powerful title–my greatest wonder was why it hadn’t been written before. From the epigraph–’Speed happens when people truly trust each other’–to the closing bell, this is a book worth savoring–and implementing.”
