To trust you:
1. I must trust that you are who you purport to be. Are you someone I can trust?
2. I must trust that your facts are solid, your reasoning is rigorous, and your judgment is sound.
3. I must trust that you care about me and about how any outcomes will affect me and the things I care about.
In their book, Unleashed, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss have a similar model of ‘The Trust Triangle’ of Authenticity, Logic, and Empathy. https://geni.us/LVBdUMo
